Solution

The correct option is D

392 kPa


The ideal gas equation relates the state variables as: PV = nRT. Assuming no leakage in the tyre, it is safe to assume that the number of moles of air, n, has not changed in the process. Thus, the fraction n=(pvRT) will be constant.

Also, if the initial volume is V, the final volume will be [102100×V], or 1.02V.

Denoting the final pressure as Pf, we can write -

n=[Pf×1.02 VR×40]=[200×VR×20]

Pf=(200×4020×1.02) kPa=392 kPa.
