Solution

The correct option is D N/40
We know

Meq= N × V
where Meq is the equivalent molarity
N is normality of the solution
V is volume of solution

Applying the formula to each of the solution separately
1) HCl
Meq= 1× 5 = 5M

2) H2SO4
Meq=12×20=10 M

3) HNO3
​​Meq= 13×30=10 M

For total solution
Meq = M1 + M2 + M3
Meq = 5+10+10 = 25 M
and volume = 1000 mL

​Thus applying the same formula
Meq= N × V
25 = N× 1000
N= $\dfrac{25}{1000} N
=N40

Thus normality of the solution would be N40.

Hence, the correct option is D
