Solution

The correct option is C [MnCl4]2>[CoCl4]2>[Fe(CN)6]4
The number of unpaired electrons in the compounds [MnCl4]2,[CoCl4]2and[Fe(CN)6]4 are 5,3 and 0 respectively.
As the number of unpaired electrons increases, the magnetic moment values also increases.
Hence, the correct order of magnetic moments (spin values in BM) among is [MnCl4]2>[CoCl4]2>[Fe(CN)6]4.
