The correct answer is: 0.177 V

For the solution one pH=3 :-

pH=-logH+H+= 10-pH=10-3

For the second solution pH=6 :-

pH=-logH+H+= 10-pH=10-6

According to the nernest equation :-

Ecell=E°Cell-0.0591nlogOxidationReductionEcell=E°cell-0.05911log10-310-6Ecell=0+0.059×3=0.177

Hence, If hydrogen electrons dipped in two solutions of pH=3 and pH=6 are connected by a salt bridge, the emf of the resulting cell is 0.177 V.
