Ratio of Salt/Base = 1/1
Using teh formula,
pOH = pKb + log[Salt]/[Base]
∴ pOH = pKb + 0
∴ pOH = pKb
Now, when [Salt]/[Base] = 2/1
Then,
pOH₁ = pKb + log[2/1]
pOH = pKb + log[2]
∴ pOH₂ = pKb + 0.3010
∴ Subtracting second from 1.
∴ pOH₁ - pOH₂ = -0.3010
∴ pOH₂ - pOH₁ = 0.3010
Now, We must be having the pH value of first solution, then we can calculate pOH of other solution, After which,
pH + pOH = 14,
By using this formula we can calculate pH vale.
But your question is incomplete. You must have given this value of pH.
But all right, method is correct follow this.
Hope it helps.

or simply take ratio and subtract from 14
