Let $P$ be the point of intersection of the common tangents to the parabola $y^2 = 12x$ and the hyperbola $8x^2 - y^2 = 8$. If $S$ and $S'$ denote the foci of the hyperbola where $S$ lies on the positive $x$-axis,then $P$ divides $SS'$ in the ratio:

  • A
    $2 : 1$
  • B
    $13 : 11$
  • C
    $5 : 4$
  • D
    $14 : 13$
