The correct answer is: 7
Number of millimoles of base (i.e., $\left.\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_2\right)$ $=N_1 V_1=2 \times M_1 \times V_1=2 \times 0.2 \times 25=10$
Number of millimoles of acid (i.e., $\mathrm{HCl})=\mathrm{N}_2 V_2$
$$
=10 \times 1=10
$$
As, no. of millimoles of acid $=$ no. of millimoles of base
$\therefore$ Acid is completely neutralised by base forming a neutral solution.
$\therefore \mathrm{pH}$ of the resulting solution $=7$.
