a

[CoCl6]3<[Co(H2O)6]+3<[Co(NH3)6]+3<[Co(CN)6]3

b

[CoCl6]3=[Co(H2O)6]+3 =[Co(NH3)6]+3=[Co(CN)6]3

c

[CoCl6]3<[Co(CN)6]3<[Co(NH3)6]+3<[Co(H2O)6]+3

d

[Co(CN)6]3<[Co(NH3)6]+3<[Co(H2O)6]+3<[CoCl6]3

answer is B.

Detailed Solution

Δ0 depends on the nature of ligands. The strength of ligands present in above complexes is in the order  Cl<H2O<NH3<CN
For weak ligand Δ0  is low and strong ligand Δ0  is high.
