A football was inflated to a gauge pressure of $$1$$ bar when the ambient temperature was $${15^ \circ }C$$. When the game started next day, the air temperature at the stadium was $${5^ \circ }C$$.
Assume that the volume of the football remains constant at $$2500c{m^3}$$

Gauge pressure of air to which the ball must have been originally inflated so that it would equal $$1$$ bar gauge at the stadium is

A
$$2.23$$ bar
B
$$1.94$$ bar
C
$$1.07$$ bar
D
$$1.00$$ bar
