Detailed Solution

In both states (paramagnetic and diamagnetic) of the given complex, Ni exists as Ni2+whose electronic configuration is [Ar]3d84s0 

Question Image

In the above paramagnetic state the geometry of the complex is sp3 giving tetrahedral geometry. The diamagnetic state is achieved by pairing of electrons in 3d orbital. 

Question Image

Thus the geometry of the complex will be dsp2 giving square planar geometry.
