Solution

The correct options are
B one chlorine atom satisfies primary as well as secondary valency
C two chlorine atoms satisfy primary valency
Option (B),(C) are correct.
When $A g N O_{3}$ is added to a solution of $C o (N H_{3})_{5} C l_{3}$ , the precipitate of $A g C l$ shows two ionized chloride ions.This means one chlorine atom satisfies primary as well as secondary valency and two chlorine atoms satisfy primary valency. Hence, $C o (N H_{3})_{5} C l_{3}$ , can be written as $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} C l] C l_{2}$ ,
