The correct answer is: 0.91

From the given cell reaction and nernst equation.

                 E cell = E cell o - 0 . 0 5 9 1 n  log  Ni 2 + Ag + 2

                        = 1 . 0 5  V - 0 . 0 5 9 1 2  log  0 . 1 6 0 0 . 0 0 2 2

                       = 1 . 0 5 - 0 . 0 5 9 1 2  log  4 × 1 0 4

                       = 1 . 0 5 - 0 . 0 5 9 1 2 4 . 6 0 2 1

                       = 1 . 0 5 - 0 . 1 4 = 0 .9 1  V

                E cell = 0 . 9 1  V
