Detailed Solution

CoCl3​.xNH3​+2AgNO3​→2AgCl (2mole)
This precipitation of 2 mol of AgCl by this reaction shows that there is only two Cl outside the coordination sphere, which is not as a ligand ( as ligands are not ionizable).
Hence, the compound must be as follows: ( showing the coordination sphere) [Co(NH3​)5​Cl​]Cl2, as this is the octahedral complex, where it is clear that there are only one Cl as ligand and other ligands are NH3​

So, 6−1=5 NH3​ ligands.
