Let the ellipse $E : x^2 + 9y^2 = 9$ intersect the positive $x$- and $y$-axes at the points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let the major axis of $E$ be a diameter of the circle $C$. Let the line passing through $A$ and $B$ meet the circle $C$ at the point $P$. If the area of the triangle with vertices $A, P$ and the origin $O$ is $\frac{m}{n}$,where $m$ and $n$ are coprime,then $m - n$ is equal to

    $18$
  • B
