Two line segments $AB$ and $CD$ are constrained to move along the $X$ and $Y$-axes,respectively,in such a way that the points $A, B, C, D$ are concyclic. If $AB = a$ and $CD = b$,then the locus of the centre of the circle passing through $A, B, C, D$ in polar coordinates is

  • A
    $r^2 = \frac{a^2+b^2}{4}$
  • B
    $r^2 \cos 2\theta = \frac{a^2-b^2}{4}$
  • C
    $r^2 = 4(a^2+b^2)$
  • D
    $r^2 \cos 2\theta = 4(a^2-b^2)$
