When air is pumped into a cycle tyre, the volume and pressure of the air in the tyre both increase. What about Boyle's law in this case?

(N/A) Boyle's law states that for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at a constant temperature, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume $(PV = \text{constant})$.
In this scenario, when air is pumped into the cycle tyre, the mass (number of moles) of the air inside the tyre increases.
Since the mass of the gas is not constant, the conditions required for Boyle's law are not satisfied.
Therefore, Boyle's law is not applicable in this case.

$A$ container $A$ contains an ideal gas at pressure $P$,volume $V$,and temperature $T$. $A$ second container $B$ contains the same gas at pressure $2P$,volume $2V$,and temperature $\frac{T}{2}$. The ratio of the mass of gas in $A$ to that in $B$ is:

One mole of an ideal gas undergoes a process in which pressure $P$ varies with volume $V$ as $P = 3 - g \left(\frac{V}{V_0}\right)^2$, where $V_0$ and $g$ are constants. The maximum temperature attainable by the ideal gas during this process is ($All$ quantities are in $SI$ units and $R$ is the gas constant).
