We have |\mathrm{PA}-\mathrm{PB}| \leq \mathrm{AB}. Thus for \mathrm{|\mathrm{PA}-\mathrm{PB}|} to be maximum, point \mathrm{A, B \: and \: ' P ' }must be collinear equation of \mathrm{A B} is \mathrm{x+2 y=2}.

Solving it with given line, we get \mathrm{P \equiv\left(-\frac{84}{5}, \frac{13}{5}\right).}

Hence option 2 is correct.
