Which of the following does not act as a buffer solution?

What is the ratio of concentration of salt to concentration of weak acid in a buffer solution to maintain its $pH$ value at $7.2$ $(pK_{a} = 6.2)$?

$A$ solution contains $0.2 \ M \ NH_4OH$ and $0.2 \ M \ NH_4Cl$. If $1.0 \ mL$ of $0.001 \ M \ HCl$ is added,what will be the $[OH^-]$ of the resulting solution? [Given: $K_b = 2 \times 10^{-5}$]

One litre buffer solution was prepared by adding $0.10 \ mol$ each of $NH_3$ and $NH_4Cl$ in deionised water. The change in $pH$ on addition of $0.05 \ mol$ of $HCl$ to the above solution is $............ \times 10^{-2}$ ($Nearest$ $integer$) ($Given$: $pK_b$ of $NH_3 = 4.745$ and $\log_{10} 3 = 0.477$)

Find the $pH$ of a solution formed by mixing equal volumes of $0.1 \text{ M}$ sodium propionate and $0.1 \text{ M}$ propionic acid. (Given: The dissociation constant of propionic acid is $K_a = 1.3 \times 10^{-5}$)
