Solution
The correct option is CNH4OH+NH4Cl Common ion effect is observed when a solution of weak electrolyte is mixed with a solution of strong electrolyte which provides an ion common to that provided by a weak electrolyte.
Ammonium hydroxide is a weak electrolyte and ammonium chloride is a strong electrolyte. Ammonium chloride provides ammonium ions common to ammonium hydroxide.
Thus, the pair NH4OH+NH4Cl shows common ion effect.
All other pairs have a mixture of strong electrolytes mixed with strong electrolyte hence they do not show common ion effect.
