Solution

The correct option is B False
The indicator $V$ changes its colour formed to yellow in a $p H$ range from $2.8$ to $4.1$ .
Now $0.1 M$ ${C H}_{3} C O O H$ reacts with $0.1 M$ ${N H}_{4} O H$ to form ${C H}_{3} {C O O N H}_{4}$ . The $p H$ will be around $7.0$ (because ${p K}_{a} \approx 4.7$ and ${p K}_{b} \approx 4.7$ ). So the indicator $V$ ( $p H$ $2.8$ to $4.1$ ) can not be used.
Answer will be false.
