Detailed Solution

 Number of millimoles of  NH3=50 mL×0.2M=10mmol

Number of millimoles of HCl=25 mL×0.2M=5mmol

5mmolNH3 will react with 5mmolHCl to form 5mmolNH4Cl

10-5=5mmolNH3 will remain.

pOH=pKb-logNH4ClNH3 

pOH=4.75-log5/V5/V 

pOH=4.75 

pH=14-pOH=14-4.75=9.25

Therefore, the correct option is (C).
