This is actually really easy. The salt contains the cation from the base and the anion from the acid. In these inorganic, water-soluble acids, the cation is H+, and the anion in the bases is OH-
Thus:
1. NaOH and H2SO4
2. NaOH and HCl

Can you guess the last pair?

1. 2NaOH + H2SO4 ===>

2. NaOH + HCl ===>

3. NaOH + HNO3 ===>
