A circle touches a straight line lx+my+n=0lx + my + n = 0 and cuts the circle x2+y2=9x^2 + y^2 = 9 orthogonally. The locus of centres of such circles is - (A) (lx+my+n)2=(l2+m2)(x2+y2−9)(lx + my + n)^2 = (l^2 + m^2)(x^2 + y^2 - 9) (C) (lx+my+n)2=(l2+m2)(x2+y2+9)(lx + my + n)^2 = (l^2 + m^2)(x^2 + y^2 + 9) (B) (lx+my−n)2=(l2+m2)(x2+y2−9)(lx + my - n)^2 = (l^2 + m^2)(x^2 + y^2 - 9) (D) none of these
