The correct answer is: B<D<C<A

Magnetic moment is directly proportional to the number of unpaired in the central metal atom of a complex.

It is calculated by the formula, μ=n(n+2)BM

(A) FeF63-

Fe+33d54s0

n=5

(B) FeCN63-

Fe+33d54s0

n=1

(C) MnCl63-

Mn+33d44s0

n=4

(D) MnCN63-

Mn+33d44s0

n=2

Hence, correct order of magnetic moment is A>C>D>B
