Solution

The correct option is A III<II<I<IV
The compound which has the maximum number of unpaired electrons will have higher magnetic moment.
The complexes and the number of unpaired electrons present in them are given below:
VCl3 ; V3+;[Ar]183d2=2 unpaired electrons
VO2+ ; V4+;[Ar]183d1=1 unpaired electron
[VO4]3 ; V5+;[Ar]183d0= no unpaired electron
[V(H2O)6]2+ ; V2+;[Ar]183d3=3 unpaired electrons
Hence, the correct order is III<II<I<IV.
