If a circle passes through the point $(a, b)$ and cuts the circle $x^2 + y^2 = K^2$ orthogonally,then the equation of the locus of its centre is:

  • A
    $2ax + 2by - (a^2 + b^2 + K^2) = 0$
  • B
    $2ax + 2by - (a^2 - b^2 + K^2) = 0$
  • C
    $x^2 + y^2 - 3ax - 4by + (a^2 + b^2 - K^2) = 0$
  • D
    $x^2 + y^2 - 2ax - 3by + (a^2 - b^2 - K^2) = 0$
