Solution

The correct option is D $a l n \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} + b (V_{2} - V_{1})$
Given : $P = \frac{a}{V} + b$
Work done $= \int_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}} P d V = \int_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}} (\frac{a}{V} + b) d V$
$= \int_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}} \frac{a}{V} d V + \int_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}} b d V = a [l n V]_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}} + b [V]_{V_{1}}^{V_{2}}$
$= a [l n V_{2} - l n V_{1}] + b (V_{2} - V_{1})$
$= a l n \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} + b (V_{2} - V_{1})$
