Let \(Q\) be a point on the circle \(B: x^2+y^2=a^2\) and \(P(h, k)\) be a fixed point. If the locus of the point which divides the join of \(P\) and \(Q\) in the ratio \(p: q\) is a circle \(C\), then the centre of \(C\) is

  1. A \(\left(\frac{p+q}{p}, \frac{p+q}{q}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{h p+k q}{p}, \frac{h p+k q}{q}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{h q}{p}, \frac{k q}{p}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{h q}{p+q}, \frac{k q}{p+q}\right)\)
