Solution
The correct option is B Basic Milliequivalents of HCl=100×0.1×1=10
Milliequivalents of HNO3=200×0.2×1=40
Milliequivalents of NaOH=200×0.5×1=100
Total milliequivalents of the acid = 50
The number of milliequivalents of the base is greater than the number of milliequivalents of the acid.
So, the resultant solution will be basic.
