As we learnt,

\mathrm{pH=pKa+\log \frac{[\text {salt}]}{[\text {acid}]}}

\therefore \mathrm{6=5+\log \frac{[\text {salt}]}{[\text {acid}]}}

\Rightarrow \mathrm{\log \frac{[\text {salt}]}{[\text {acid}]}=1}

\Rightarrow \mathrm{\frac{[\text {salt}]}{[\text {acid}]}=10}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
