Tangents are drawn from the point P(3,4)...

Tangents are drawn from the point P(3,4) to the ellipse `(x^2)/(9)+(y^2)/(4)=1` touching the ellipse at points A and B.
The equation of the locus of the point whose distance from the point P and the line AB are equal, is:

A

`9x^2 + y^2 - 6xy - 54 x - 62 y + 241 = 0`

B

`x^2 + 9y^2 + 6xy - 54 x + 62y - 241 = 0`

C

`9x^2 +9y^2 - 6xy - 54x - 62 y - 241 = 0`

D

`x^2 + y^2 - 2xy + 27x + 31y - 120 = 0`
