Strong acid = HCl
Weak base = NH3
NH3(aq) + HCl(aq) ==> NH4Cl(aq)
NH3(aq) + H+(aq) ==> NH4+(aq) (eliminating Cl- as the spectator)
Since this is a weak base and a strong acid, the pH at equivalence will be <7. To find the actual pH, you need to know the pKa NH4+ and concentrations.
An indicator that changes pH in the acidic range would be appropriate. A possible choice would be methyl red.
You can do others. Are you asking for strong acid/weak base, strong base/weak acid, or only strong acid/weak base. The question isn't really clear.
