pH=4
pOH=10

Explanation:

The following relations have been used to solve the problem

#[H^+][OH^-]=10^-14" " " "(1)#

#pH = -log[H^+]#

#pH+pOH =14 -># this relation is obtained by applying log on both sides of equation #(1)#

Given

#[H^+]=10^-4 => [OH^-]=10^-10#

#pH = -log[H^+] = 4#

#pOH=14-pH=14-4=10#
