Solution
Given that the complex PtCl4.5NH3 yiels three moles of white precipitate of AgCl on reaction with excess of AgNO3.
The Cl atoms present outside the complex only react with AgNO3. Since three moles are produced, this means 3 Cl atoms has to be present outside. So, the formula of the complex is [Pt(NH3)5Cl]Cl3.
