Solution

The correct option is B K2[PtCl6]
i = van,t Hoff factor =1+(y1)α (y = number of ions, α= degree of ionisation)
(1) K2PtCl42K++[PtCl4]2 ; i=1+2=3
(2) K2PtCl62K++[PtCl6]2 ; i=1+2=3
In (1), oxidation number of Pt = 2
In (2), the oxidation number of Pt = 4
Therefore, K2[PtCl6] is the correct answer.

Option B is correct.
