Detailed Solution

Let the weak monoacidic base be BOH, then the reaction that occurs during titration is 

BOH+HClBCl+H2O  Equilibrium: B+c(1h)+H2OBOHch+H+
Using the normality equation, N1V1= (acid) N2V2 (base) 
Substituting various given values, we get 
215V1=2.5×215  or V1=2.5×25×152=2.5×3=7.5ml

Then the concentration of BCl in resulting solution is given by 
[BCl]=25×2.510=110 or 0.1M [ Total volume =2.5+7.5=10ml]  Since Kh=KwKb Kh=1×10141×1012=102  Thus Kh=0.1h2(1h) or 102=0.1h2(1h)  or 102102h=0.1h2  or 0.1h2+102h102=0
(Solving this quadratic equation for h, we get) 
 Using x=b±b24ac2a h=102±1022+4×101×1022×0.1 =102±104+4110320.1 =0.01±.0001+0.0040.2 =0.01±0.00410.2 =0.01±0.0640.2 =0.540.2 =0.27 H+=c.h=0.1×0.27=2.7×102M Thus the correct answer is [d].
