The ans of this is...?

Solution :
Phenolphthalein indicator turns the colour for basic solutions to pink colour.
Phenolphthalein indicator doesn't show any change in colour for acidic solutions (remains colourless).
Na2CO3 is basic salt (as metal carbonates are basic) : It originates from NaOH (Strong Base) and H2CO3 (Weak Acid)
Hence, it will show pink colour with Phenolphthalein indicator.
NH4Cl is acidic salt : It originates from NH4OH (Weak Base) and HCl (Strong Acid)
Hence, it will not show any colour change with Phenolphthalein indicator.
Thus, X is Na2CO3 and Y is NH4Cl.
Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
