Question
Complete removal of both the axial ligands (along the z-axis) from an octahedral complex leads to which of the following splitting patterns? (relative orbital energies not on scale).

Solution
The correct option is A
If both ligands present along z-axis removed from octahedral field and converted into a square planar field, then the obitals with z axis component will get lower in energy and result in the square planar splitting as shown below:
