Detailed Solution

In FeCN64-, Fe has +2 oxidation state and its outer electronic configuration becomes 3d5. As CN- is a strong ligand, so all electrons of 3d gets paired in t2g orbitals and eg orbitals remains empty, t2g6eg0.

CFSE=-0.4(number of electrons in t2g)+0.6(number of electrons in eg)            =-0.4(6)+0.6(0)            =2.4Δ0
