Detailed Solution

As the Co3+ has a configuration as follows: [Ar]3d64s0 ,
Now, as the F is the weak field ligand, so does not cause the paring of the 3d6 electrons, so it has 2 pair electrons and 4 unpaired electrons in 3d orbitals.
In [CoF6​]3−,Co3+ uses outer d orbitals (4d) in sp3d2 hybridization. The number of unpaired electrons present in complex ion is 4.
