Solution

The correct option is A 4 : 1
Phenolphthalein gives the end point corresponding to the reactions:
NaOH+HClNaCl+H2O
Na2CO3+HClNaHCO3+NaCl
m-moles of NaOH + m-moles of Na2CO3
= moles of HCl=2.5
Methyl orange gives the end point corresponding to the reactions:
NaOH+HClNaCl+H2O
Na2CO3+2HCl2NaCl+CO2+H2O
m-moles of NaOH + m-moles of Na2CO3×2
= m-moles of HCl=30×0.1=3.
milli moles of Na2CO3=0.5
m-mole of NaOH=2.50.5=2
Ratio of mole of NaOH and Na2CO3
=20.5=4:1
