Solution

A.(4) B.(1) C.(2) D.(3)

Isomerism in coordination compund is decided by type of ligands and geometry of coordination and arrangement of ligands.

A. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ shows geometrical isomerism due to presence of two types of ligand whose [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ arrangement around central metal ion.



B. cis[Co(en)2Cl2]+ shows optical isomer due to its non-superimposable mirror image relationship.



C. [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]Cl2 shows coordination isomer due to its interchanging ligand from outside the ionisation sphere.
D. [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] shows coordination isomer due to interchanging of ligand in between two metal ions from one coordination sphere to another coordination sphere.
Hence, correct choice is (d).
