An Intiative by Sri Chaitanya

$\frac{P_{0} (R^{3} + R_{1}^{3} + R_{2}^{3})}{4 (R^{2} + R_{1}^{2} + R_{2}^{2})}$

$\frac{P_{0} (R_{1}^{3} + R_{2}^{3} - R^{3})}{4 (R^{2} - R_{1}^{2} - R_{2}^{2})}$

$P_{0} (R_{1}^{3} + R_{2}^{3} - R^{3})$

$4 P_{0} (R_{1}^{3} + R_{2}^{3} - R^{3})$

answer is B.

Detailed Solution

According to isothermal process, $PV = P_{1} V_{1} + P_{2} V_{2}$
$\begin{array}{l} (P_{O} + \frac{4 T}{R}) \frac{4}{3} {πR}^{3} = (P_{o} + \frac{4 T}{R_{1}}) \frac{4}{3} {πR}_{1}^{3} + (P_{O} + \frac{4 T}{R_{2}}) \frac{4}{3} {πR}_{2}^{3} \\ P_{0} (R^{3} - R_{1}^{3} - R_{2}^{3}) = 4 T (R_{1}^{2} + R_{2}^{2} - R^{2}) \end{array}$
