Given,

m mole of acetic acid in 20 mL = 2
m mole of HCl in 20 mL = 1
m mole of NaOH = 2.5

\mathrm{CH_{3}COOH\: +\: NaOH(remaining)\: \rightarrow \: CH_{3}COONa\: +\:water}
          2                              3/2                                      0                                 0
         0.5                             0                                       3/2            

\mathrm{pH\: =\: pK_{a}\: +\: log\frac{\frac{3}{2}}{2}}

pH = 4.74 + log 3

pH = 4.74 + 0.48 = 5.22

Thus, the correct answer is 5.22

Hence, the option number (1) is correct.
