Detailed Solution

[Co(NH3​)5​(NO2​)](NO3​)2​

The given compound can exhibit only linkage isomerism due to the presence of ambidentate ligand (−NO2​)

The complex in the left in the picture is [Co(NH3​)5​(NO2​)](NO2​)2.

The complex in the right in the picture is [Co(NH3​)5​(ONO)](NO2​)2​.

So, the number of possible isomers is=2
