Detailed Solution

Since the bubbles are in vacuum, the pressure of air inside them are
P1=4σr1 and P2=4σr2 where r1 = 3.0 mm and r2 = 4.0 mm. Since the temperature remains unchanged, we have from Boyle's law

P1V1+P2V2=PV          or 4σr1.43π r13+4σr2.43π r23                          (i)

where r is the radius of the single bubble formed. From (i), we get

r2 = r12 + r22    or     r = r12 + r22 =(3.0)2+(4.0)2=5.0 mm
