Two tangents are drawn from a point P to...

Two tangents are drawn from a point P to the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)-2x-4y+4=0`, such that the angle between these tangents is `tan^(-1)((12)/(5))`, where `tan^(-1)((12)/(5))in (0, pi)`. If the centre of the circle is denoted by C and these tangents touch the circle at points A and B, then the ratio of the areas of `DeltaPAB` and `DeltaCAB` is :

A

`9:4`

B

`3:1`

C

`2:1`

D

`11:4`
