The correct answer is: $1.25 \times 10^{-11}$
$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\sqrt{\alpha^{2} C^{2}}=\sqrt{(0.02)^{2} \cdot(0.04)^{2}}=8 \times 10^{-4}$
$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]=10^{-14}$
$\therefore\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]=\frac{10^{-14}}{8 \times 10^{-4}}=1.25 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{M}$
