The rapid change of $pH$ near the stoichiometric point of an acid-base titration is the basis of indicator detection. The $pH$ of the solution is related to the ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate acid $(HIn)$ and base $(In^{-})$ forms of the indicator by the expression:

For an acid indicator with $K_{in} = 1.0 \times 10^{-5}$, the color change occurs when the concentration of the indicator is $1 \times 10^{-3} \ M$. Find the $pH$ at which the color change occurs.

Given below are two statements.
Statement $I:$ In the titration between a strong acid and a weak base,methyl orange is a suitable indicator.
Statement $II:$ For the titration of acetic acid with $NaOH$,phenolphthalein is not a suitable indicator.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Which indicator can be used in the titration of a strong acid and a strong base?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Phenolphthalein is a $pH$ dependent indicator,remains colourless in acidic solution and gives pink colour in basic medium.
Reason $R$: Phenolphthalein is a weak acid. It doesn't dissociate in basic medium.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
