In the given case, the charge on other body may be positive or negative if the first charged body has
negative or positive charge respectively. Also, the other body may be neutral and attract towards the
first due to charge redistribution by induction.

(A) NaCl is a salt of strong acid (HCl) and strong base (NaOH) so it is neutral in nature.
(B) Na2CO3 is a salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H2CO3) so it is basic in nature.
(C) NH4Cl is a salt of weak base (NH4OH) and strong acid (HCl) so it is acidc in nature.
(D) ZnO is amphoteric in nature it can react with both acid as well as base.

Solution A which has pH 6 is acid because acidic substance have pH less than 7 while solution B is
basic because basic substances have pH greater than 7.
