उत्तर
A has a pH greater than 7 and B has a pH less than 7.
Explanation:
Phenolphthalein is pink in basic solutions (turns pink when pH is above its transition range) and is colorless in acidic/neutral solutions. When B is added the pink disappears because B is acidic and lowers the pH below the indicator’s pink range, so N is basic and B is acidic.
