Let $P(3 \sec \theta, 2 \tan \theta)$ and $Q(3 \sec \phi, 2 \tan \phi)$ be two points on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ such that $\theta + \phi = \frac{\pi}{2}$ where $0 < \theta, \phi < \frac{\pi}{2}$. Then the ordinate of the point of intersection of the normals at $P$ and $Q$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{13}{2}$
  • B
    $-\frac{13}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{2}$
  • D
    $-\frac{5}{2}$
