The correct answer is:
7.75
$\begin{aligned} & \text { } \begin{aligned} \mathrm{pH}= & 7+\frac{1}{2}\left[\mathrm{p} K_a-\mathrm{p} K_b\right] \\ \text { Here, } \mathrm{p}_a & =4.76, \mathrm{p} K_b=3.26 \\ & =7+\frac{1}{2}[4.76-3.26] \\ & =7+\frac{1}{2}[1.50] \\ & =7+0.75=7.75\end{aligned}\end{aligned}$
