Solution

In $[C o (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}$ , the central cobalt atom has +3 oxidation state and has electronic configuration $3 d^{6}$ . Since, ammonia is a strong ligand, the electrons will prefer to pair up rather than go to $e_{g}$ level. Hence, the outer electronic configuration will be $t_{2 g}^{6} e_{g}^{0}$ .
$[C o (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}$ has 0 unpaired electron(s) in $t_{2 g}$ orbitals.
