Column I Column II
a. $${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ 1. $$0\,B.M.$$
b. $${\left[ {Co{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ 2. $$5.92\,B.M.$$
c. $${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }}$$ 3. $$4.89\,B.M.$$
d. $${\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }}$$ 4. $$1.732\,B.M.$$

A. a - 2, b - 3, c - 4, d - 1
B. a - 3, b - 2, c - 1, d - 4
C. a - 1, b - 3, c - 4, d - 2
D. a - 4, b - 3, c - 2, d - 1  
Answer :   a - 4, b - 3, c - 2, d - 1
Solution :
$$F{e^{3 + }}:3{d^5},$$   since $$C{N^ - }$$  is a strong field ligand, pairing will take place.

$$\eqalign{ & \mu = \sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)} \cr & \,\,\,\, = \sqrt {1\left( {1 + 2} \right)} \cr & \,\,\,\, = \sqrt 3 \cr & \,\,\,\, = 1.732\,\,B.M. \cr} $$
In $${\left[ {Co{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }},$$   oxidation state of $$Co = + 3$$
$$C{o^{3 + }}:3{d^6},$$   since $${F^ - }$$ is a weak field ligand, pairing will not occur.

$$\eqalign{ & \mu = \sqrt {4\left( {4 + 2} \right)} \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt {24} \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = 4.89\,B.M. \cr} $$
In $${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }},$$    oxidation state of $$Fe = + 3$$
$$F{e^{3 + }}:3{d^5},$$   since $${H_2}O$$  is a weak field ligand, pairing will not take place.

$$\eqalign{ & \mu = \sqrt {5\left( {5 + 2} \right)} \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt {35} \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = 5.92\,B.M. \cr} $$
In $${\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }},$$    oxidation state of $$Co=+3.$$
$$C{o^{3 + }}:3{d^6},$$   since $$N{H_3}$$  is a strong field ligand, pairing will take place.
