In a cylinder provided with a piston, air is under pressure $P_1$ at a constant temperature $t$. $A$ soap bubble with radius $r$ and surface tension $T$ is lying inside the cylinder. To reduce the radius of the soap bubble to half, the required air pressure inside the cylinder is

  • A
    $8 P_1 + \frac{24 T}{r}$
  • B
    $8 P_1 + \frac{3 T}{r}$
  • C
    $8 P_1 + \frac{2 T}{r}$
  • D
    $8 P_1 + \frac{12 T}{r}$
