The correct answer is: $176.66 \mathrm{ml}$
Normality of $3 \% \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$

$\mathrm{N}=\frac{3 \times 1000}{53 \times 100}=0.566 \mathrm{~N}$

For $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ sol. $\mathrm{N}_{1}=0.1, \mathrm{~V}_{1}=100 \mathrm{~mL}$

For $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}$ sol. $\mathrm{N}_{2}=0.566$

Now apply $\mathrm{N}_{1} \mathrm{~V}_{1}=\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{~V}_{2}$

$\mathrm{V}_{2}=\frac{\mathrm{N}_{1} \mathrm{~V}_{1}}{\mathrm{~N}_{2}}=\frac{0.1 \times 1000 \mathrm{~mL}}{0.566}=176.66 \mathrm{~mL}$
