Under isothermal conditions, two soap bubbles of radii $a$ and $b$ coalesce to form a single bubble of radius $c$. If the external pressure is $P$, then the surface tension of the bubbles is:

  • A
    $\frac{P(c^{3}-a^{3}+b^{3})}{4(a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2})}$
  • B
    $\frac{P(c^{3}-a^{3}-b^{3})}{4(a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2})}$
  • C
    $\frac{P(c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2})}{4(a^{3}+b^{3}-c^{3})}$
  • D
    $\frac{P(c^{3}+b^{3}-a^{3})}{4(a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2})}$
