One mole of an ideal gas at temperature $T_1$ expands according to the law $\frac{P}{V^2} = a$ (constant). The work done by the gas until the temperature of the gas becomes $T_2$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}R(T_2 - T_1)$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}R(T_2 - T_1)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4}R(T_2 - T_1)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{5}R(T_2 - T_1)$
