\begin{array}{lll}{\mathrm{\ \ HNO}_{3}} \: {+} \:\: {\mathrm{NH}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}} \\ {4 \ \mathrm{mmol}} \:\:\ \ {6 \mathrm{mmol}} \ \ \: \: \:\ \ {4 \mathrm{mmol }}\end{array}

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Since } W_{B}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right) \text { is left and salt }\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}\right) \text { is formed so a }} \\ {\text { is a basic buffer }} \\ {\text { Base left }=6-4=2 \mathrm{mmol}} \\ {\text { [Acid] }=40 \times 0.1=4 \mathrm{mmol}} \\ {[\mathrm{Base}]=20 \times 0.3=6 \mathrm{mmol}} \\ {\therefore \mathrm{pOH}=4.7447+\log 4 / 2=5.0457 \mathrm{\: and}} \\ {\mathrm{pH}=14-5.0457=8.95}\end{array}

Therefore option(2) is correct
