The correct answer is: HCl<NH4Cl<NaCl<NaCN
NH4Cl undergoes cationic hydrolysis hence pH is <7 because the solution due to cationic hydrolysis in acids.
NaCN undergoes anionic hydrolysis hence pH is >7 .
HCl is strong acid and NaCl is neutral solution.
Hence the pH of given solutions will increases.
HCl<NH4Cl<NaCl<NaCN
