Solution

The correct option is B $1$ and $2$
$N H_{4} C l$ is a weak base-strong acid salt.
$N a C N$ is a salt of a strong base $(N a O H)$ and weak acid $(H C N)$ .
In water,
1. $N H_{4} C l$ produces acidic solution
2. $K H S O_{4}$ produces acidic solution because the neutral salt of strong base $K O H$ and strong acid $H_{2} S O_{4}$ is $K_{2} S O_{4}$
3. $N a C N$ produces basic solution
4. $K N O_{3}$ produces neutral solution

Hence, option B is correct.
