$A$ bicycle tire tube is inflated using a pump. Assume the volume of the tube $V$ is constant and in each stroke,an amount of air $\Delta V$ is pushed into the tube under an adiabatic process. What is the work done to increase the pressure in the tube from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$?

  • A
    $\frac{P_{2}V - P_{1}V}{\gamma - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{P_{1}V - P_{2}V}{\gamma - 1}$
  • C
    $\frac{P_{2}V + P_{1}V}{\gamma - 1}$
  • D
    Zero
