Detailed Solution

Meq of 0.2 M H2SO4 = 2 × 0.2 M1000 × 100 = 0.04 meq/L

Meq of .2 M NaOH =  0.2 1000 × 100 = 0.02 meq./L

                  H+ left unreacted = 0.04 -0.02=0.02

Total volume = 200 ;  [H+] = 0.02200 = .0001=10-4M

pH =-log [H+]  = 4.

Another method:

                           Strength of H2SO4 =VANA=100×0.4 =40 (Since NA=2×M)

                           Strength of NaOH =VBNB =100×0.2=20

       VANA > VBNB  and the resultant solution is acidic.
