Given pH of solution with 100 ml = 12                \mathrm{\therefore [OH^{-}] = 10^{-2}}

 pH of solution with 300 ml = 10                         \mathrm{\therefore [OH^{-}] = 10^{-4}}

 

After mixing, 

\mathrm{[OH^{-}] = \frac{10^{-2}\times 100}{100+300}+\frac{10^{-4}\times 300}{100+300} = 2.575\times 10^{-3}}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow pOH = -\log(2.575\times 10^{-3}) = 2.6}

\mathrm{\Rightarrow pH = 14-2.6 = 11.4 }

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
