Determining with the value of pH with indicator solution data

given:
with metil purple indicator, purple
with bromkesol green indicator, blue
with bromtimol blue indicator, yellow
Determine the pH range of the solution!
Answer:
According to data range pH indicator:
With metil purple indicator, purple, the pH solution > 1.5.
With bromkesol green indicator, blue, the pH solution > 5.4.
With bromtimol blue indicator, yellow, the pH solution <>
