A motor tyre is inflated to pressure of \(2.0\) \(\times 10^{5} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\) when the temperature of air is \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). What will be the pressure in it at \(87^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) assuming that the volume of the tyre does not change?

A. \(2.6 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
B. \(2.4 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)  
C. \(2.2 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
D. \(1.3 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
