Detailed Solution

The complex which has the 6 secondary valencies are,
PdNH34Cl2Ni2H2O6Cl2H2PtCl6,CoNH34Cl2ClPt2NH32Cl2
The primary valences of the metal are represented by the number of moles of AgCl precipitated per mole of the compound.
So, PdCl24NH3 precipitated with 2 moles of AgCl indicates that the secondary valence of Pd is 4 in
[Pd(NH3)4]Cl2.
(ii) NiCl26H2O precipitated with 2 moles of AgCl indicates that the secondary valence of Ni is 6 in 
[Ni(H2O)6]Cl2.
(iii) PtCl42HCl precipitated with 0 moles of AgCl indicates that the secondary valence of Pt is 6 in 
[PtCl4(HCl)2].
(iv) 1 mole of AgCl is precipitated by  CoCl34NH3. As a result, the secondary valence of Co is 6. 0 mole of AgCl is precipitated by [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl.
(v) PtCl2.2NH3 as a result, the secondary valence of Pt is 4 in [PtCl2(NH3)2].
