Solution

Phenolphthalein indicator operates in the pH range 8.09.8. At this pH, only one hydrogen ion can be added to carbonate ion to form bicarbonate ion.
Hence, only 50% of sodium carbonate solution is indicated if it is neutralized by HCl using phenolphthalein as an indicator.
Methyl red indicator operates in the pH range 4.26.3. At this pH, two hydrogen ions can be added to carbonate ion to form carbonic acid.
Hence, 100% of sodium carbonate solution is indicated if it is neutralized by HCl using methyl red as the indicator.
