AB is a variable lines sliding between the coordinate axes in such a way that A lies on x-axis and B lies on y-axis. The P is a variable point on AB such that `PA=b, PB=a` and `AB=a+b`, then the equation of the locus of P is

A

`(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1`

B

`(x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1`

C

`x^(2)+y^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)`

D

`x^(2)-y^(2)=a^(2)-b^(2)`
