Solution

The correct option is A (i) < (ii) < (iv) < (iii)
Higher the number of ions in the solution, higher is the conductivity.
Number of ions : [Co(NH3)3Cl3] = 0;
[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl = 2;
[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 = 3;
[Co(NH3)6]Cl3 = 4
For example, total number of ions given by dissociation of one molecule of [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 in aqueous solution = 4. This includes one [Co(NH3)6]3+ ion and three Cl ions.
