Solution
PtCl4.6H2O on reaction with AgNO3 forms 2 moles of AgCl (whit ppt) per mol of the PtCl4.6H2O.
Only chloride ions that are present outside react with AgNO3 to give white ppt. of AgCl. Since 2 moles are produces, this means 2 Cl atoms are present outside.
Therefore, the complex exists as [PtCl2(H2O)4]Cl2⋅2H2O.
