Solution

The correct option is B 4.74
Since , $p H + p O H = 14 p O H = 14 - p H$
$p O H = 2.57$

The aqueous solution of $N H_{3}$ forms $N H_{4} O H$ which is a weak base. The formula of pOH for a weak base is :
$p O H = \frac{1}{2} p K_{b} - \frac{1}{2} log C o r, 2.57 \times 2 = p K_{b} - log C$
$o r, 5.14 = p K_{b} - log 0.4$
$o r, 5.14 = p K_{b} - (2 log 2 - log 10) p K_{b} = 4.74$
