As we have learnt, 

Nernst equation is given as 

\mathrm{E= E^0_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}logQ}

Now, the chemical reaction occuring in the cell is given as 

\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{Sn}+\mathrm{Pb}^{2+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Sn}^{2+}+\mathrm{Pb}} \\ {0=0.01-\frac{0.06}{2} \log \left\{\frac{\left[\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\right]}\right\}} \\ {0.01=\frac{0.06}{2} \log \left[\frac{\left[\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\right]}\right\}} \\ {\frac{1}{3}=\log \left[\frac{\left[\mathrm{Sn}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\right]}\right\} \Rightarrow \frac{\left[\mathrm{Sb}^{2+}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}\right]}=10^{1 / 3}=2.1544}\end{array}

Hence, the option number (1) is correct.
