One mole of a gas obeying the equation of state $P(V-b)=RT$ is made to expand from a state with coordinates $(P_{1}, V_{1})$ to a state with $(P_{2}, V_{2})$ along a process that is depicted by a straight line on a $P-V$ diagram. Then, the work done is given by

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}(P_1 + P_2)(V_2 - V_1)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}(P_2 - P_1)(V_2 - V_1)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}(P_1 + P_2)(V_2 - V_1 + 2b)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}(P_2 - P_1)(V_2 + V_1 + 2b)$
