Solution

The correct option is B 80 mL
When phenolphthalein is used as an indicator:
Only one part of base reacts
By using formula,
meq. of acid used=meq. base
V×M×n=V×M×n
Where,
M=MolarityV=Volumen=nfactor
0.05x×1=20×0.1×1;x=40 mL
When methyl orange is used as an indicator:
All parts of base reacts
By using formula,
meq. of acid used=meq. base
0.05y×1=(20×0.1×1)+(20×0.1×2)
y=120 mL
yx=80 mL
