Detailed Solution

Solution: Using phenolphthalein,
Na2CO3+HClNaHCO3+NaCl 
        1M(say)            
NaHCO3+HCl  No reaction
  Milliequivalents of Na2CO3=  Milliequivalents of HCl=x 
Using methyl orange,
 NaHCO3+HClNaCl+CO2+H2O
Milliequivalents of NaHCO3  (from Na2CO3 ) + Milliequivalents of NaHCO3  (original mixture) = (y-x)
  Volume of HCl required = (y-x) ml.
