Let $\vec{p}$ and $\vec{q}$ be the position vectors of points $P$ and $Q$ respectively,with respect to the origin $O$,and let $|\vec{p}|=p, |\vec{q}|=q$. The points $R$ and $S$ divide the line segment $PQ$ internally and externally in the ratio $2:3$ respectively. If $\vec{OR}$ and $\vec{OS}$ are perpendicular,then:

  • A
    $9p^2 = 4q^2$
  • B
    $4p^2 = 9q^2$
  • C
    $9p = 4q$
  • D
    $4p = 9q$
