For real numbers $a, b$ $(a > b > 0)$,let $\text{Area} \{(x, y) : x^{2} + y^{2} \leq a^{2} \text{ and } \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} \geq 1\} = 30\pi$ and $\text{Area} \{(x, y) : x^{2} + y^{2} \geq b^{2} \text{ and } \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} \leq 1\} = 18\pi$. Then the value of $(a - b)^{2}$ is equal to

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $11$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $13$
