A straight line cuts off the intercepts OA=a\mathrm{OA}=\mathrm{a}OA=a and OB=b\mathrm{OB}=\mathrm{b}OB=b on the positive directions of x\mathrm{x}x-axis and y−\mathrm{y}-y− axis respectively. If the perpendicular from origin O\mathrm{O}O to this line makes an angle of π6\frac{\pi}{6}6π​ with positive direction of yyy-axis and the area of △OAB\triangle \mathrm{OAB}△OAB is 9833\frac{98}{3} \sqrt{3}398​3​, then a2−b2\mathrm{a}^2-\mathrm{b}^2a2−b2 is equal to:
