Solution

The correct option is A [Co(en)3]3+,[Co(NH3)6]3+,[Co(H2O)6]3+
[Co(en)3]3+,[Co(NH3)6]3+,[Co(H2O)6]3+−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
According to spectrochemical series, strength of ligand decreases on moving from left to right in the given complexes, as the strength of ligand decreases splitting energy decreases and also energy between t2g and eg decreases. Hence, the correct order for increasing wavelength of absorbtion in the visible region is [Co(en)3]3+,[Co(NH3)6]3+,[Co(H2O)6]3+
