Solution

The correct option is C 5.92 and 5.92
Mn2+=[Ar](3d)5
There is one electron in each of the five orbitals.
CN is a strong field ligand it will pair up the electrons so magnetic moment will be 1.73 BM
Br is a weak field ligand it will not pair up the electrons so magnetic moment will be 5.92 BM
