Detailed Solution

Two soap bubbles with radii "a" and "b" combine to form a single bubble with radius "c" when the temperature is isothermal.
If the internal pressure of bubbles is P, then the outward pressure is P0.

Pa=P0+4Ta, Pb=P0+4Tb,Pc=P0+4Tc

volume, Va=43πa3,Vb=43πb3,Vc=43πc3

as mass is conserved,

μa+μb+μc=PaVaRTa+PbVbRTb+PcVcRTc

PaVa+PbVb+=PcVc_____(1)

Substituting the value of pressure and volume,

P0+4Ta43πa3+P0+4Tb43πb3=P0+4Tc43πc3

4T(a2+b2-c2)=P0(c3-a3-b3)

Surface tension T=P0(c3-a3-b3)4(a2+b2-c2)

Hence the correct answer is T=P0(c3-a3-b3)4(a2+b2-c2).
