Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ N_1V_1=N_2V_2 $

$ N_1\times 20=N_2\times 22.18 $

$ N_1=\frac{N_2\times 22.18}{20} $ —(i) $ NaOH $ solution = $ HCl $ solution $ N_2\times 21.5=\frac{1}{10}\times 20 $

$ N_2=\frac{20}{10\times 21.5} $ –.(ii) by eq. (i) and (ii) $ N_1=\frac{20\times 22.18}{20\times 10\times 21.5}=\frac{22.18}{215}=0.1N $
