Solution

$[C o (N H_{3})_{5} (N O_{2})] (N O_{3})_{2}$
The given compound can exhibit only linkage isomerism due to the presence of ambidentate ligand $(- N O_{2})$
The complex in the left in the picture is $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} (N O_{2})] (N O_{2})_{2}$ .
The complex in the right in the picture is $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} (O N O)] (N O_{2})_{2}$ .
So, the number of possible isomers is=2
