Two tangents are drawn from a point $P$ to the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y+4=0$,such that the angle between these tangents is $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)$,where $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{5}\right) \in (0, \pi)$. If the centre of the circle is denoted by $C$ and these tangents touch the circle at points $A$ and $B$,then the ratio of the areas of $\Delta PAB$ and $\Delta CAB$ is:

Consider the following statements:
Assertion $(A)$: The circle $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ has exactly two tangents parallel to the $x$-axis.
Reason $(R)$: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ on the circle exactly at the points $(0, \pm 1)$.
Of these statements:

$A$ circle is such that $(x-2) \cos \theta + (y-2) \sin \theta = 1$ touches it for all values of $\theta$. Then,the circle is
