\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{CaO \; (s)}+2 \mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_2(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \\ \\& \mathrm{NaOH}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{HCl}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l}) \end{aligned}

As per the equations

Moles of \mathrm{CaCl_{2}=Moles\; of\; CaO\; =\frac{56}{56}=1}

Also, moles of \mathrm{NaCl=Moles\; of\; NaOH\; =\frac{40}{40}=1}

On evaporating the solution, only \mathrm{CaCl_{2}} and \mathrm{NaCl} are left in solid state.

Hence, the mass of the solid left =(1\times111)+(1\times 58.5)

=169.5 \; \text{g}
