Solution

The correct option is D 2x
In presence of phenolphthalein, 50% Na2CO3 is neutralised whereas NaHCO3 remains unaffected. In presence of methyl orange, both Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 will be 100% neutralised.
Let volume of HCl for complete reaction of Na2CO3=V1mL and volume of HCl for complete reaction of NaHCO3=V2mL. With phenolphthalein, 50% Na2CO3 will be neutralized.
V12=x,V1=2x.
