Physics Question on Surface tension

A spherical soap bubble of radius 3 cm is formed inside another spherical soap bubble of radius 6 cm. If the internal pressure of the smaller bubble of radius 3 cm in the above system is equal to the internal pressure of the another single soap bubble of radius r cm. The value of r is ___

Answer

The correct answer is 2
4TR1+4TR2=4Tr\frac{4T}{R_1}+\frac{4T}{R_2} = \frac{4T}{r}
1r=13+16⇒ \frac{1}{r} = \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}
r=2 cm⇒ r = 2\ cm
Therefore , the value of r is 2cm
