If $y = \frac{(a - x)\sqrt{a - x} - (b - x)\sqrt{x - b}}{\sqrt{a - x} + \sqrt{x - b}}$,then $\frac{dy}{dx}$ wherever it is defined is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{x + (a + b)}{\sqrt{(a - x)(x - b)}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2x - (a + b)}{2\sqrt{(a - x)(x - b)}}$
  • C
    $-\frac{(a + b)}{2\sqrt{(a - x)(x - b)}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2x + (a + b)}{2\sqrt{(a - x)(x - b)}}$
