Detailed Solution

One mole of NaOH is completely neutralized by one mole of HCl
Hence, 0.02 mole of NaOH will be completely neutralised by 0.02 mole of HCl
NaOH left unneutralised = 0.1 – 0.02 = 0.08 mol

As equal volumes of two solutions are mixed 

[OH]=0.082=0.04MpOH=log(0.04)=1.4

pH=141.40=12.6013
