The two possible isomers for the given octahedral complex are  [M(NH3)5SO4]Cl and  [M(NH3)5Cl]SO4. They respectively give chloride ion (indicated by precipitation with  AgNO3) and sulphate ion (indicated by precipitation with BaCl2). Hence, the type of isomerism  exhibited by the complex is ionization isomerism
