Explanation / Answer

Solution of salt formed by strong acid and strong base is neutral in nature

While solution of salt formed by strong acid and weak base is acidic in nature while of strong base and weak acid is basic in nature.

So, Ammonium bromide formed by strong acid HBr and weak base NH4OH. Hence it is acidic or ph less than than 7

Potassium hypochlorite formed by KOH, strong base and HOCl weak acid. Hence basic in nature, pH >7

Barium perchlorate is neutral in nature since it is made from strong acid HClO4 and strong base Ba(oH)2. Ph =7

Potassium cyanide is basic since it is made from strong base KOH and weak acid HCN, hence basic and pH >7
