Solution

The correct answer is 1.
[CoCl4]2 (blue) and [Co(H2O)6]2+ (pink) have different colours because of Δtet<Δoct.
The [Co(H2O)6]2+ complex is pink due to dd transition, Δoct absorbs blue colour and the complimentary color red/pink is seen( weak absorbance).
The [CoCl4]2 complex is a deeper blue as dd transition requires smaller energy. Δtet absorbs red (more strongly) and it appears blue.
