The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(a,b,d)

[Co(en)(NH 3 ) 3 (H 2 O)] 3+ has 2 geometrical isomers

Compound [Co(CN) 2 (NH 3 ) 3 (H 2 O)] + will have three geometrical isomers.

[Co(en)(NH 3 ) 3 (H 2 O)] 3+ is diamagnetic

[Co(en)(NH 3 ) 3 (H 2 O)] 3+ absorbs light at longer wavelength as compared to [Co(en)(NH 3 ) 4 ] 3+ as H 2 O is weaker ligand than NH 3 .
