JEE Main 6 April 2023, Shift 1, Chemistry Q72

Question 72 of 90 in this shift, Chemistry question 12 of 30, Section A.

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: The spin only magnetic moment value for [Fe(CN)6]3−[\mathrm{Fe(CN)_6}]^{3-} is 1.74 BM, whereas for [Fe(H2O)6]3+[\mathrm{Fe(H_2O)_6}]^{3+} is 5.92 BM. Reason R : In both complexes, Fe is present in +3 oxidation state. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  1. (1)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. (2)Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of AOfficial answer
  3. (3)A is true but R is false
  4. (4)A is false but R is true
