Detailed Solution

If the reactant [CoCl2(NH3)4]+ is in the cis form, the complex [CoCl2(NH3)3]+ will have both a cis (or fac or facial) and a trans (or mer or meridional) isomer.
Only if the reactant [CoCl2(NH3)4]+ is in the trans form will the compound[CoCl2(NH3)3]+ have the trans (or mer or meridional) isomer.
Because it can be divided into two isomers, the reactant is in the cis form.
