The correct answer is: Q < R < P 

[FeF6]3 : Fe+3 : [Ar] 3d5

F: Weak field Ligand 

No. of unpaired electrons =5

μ=(5(5+2)) 

μ=35BM

VH2O6+2: V+2: 3d3 

No. of unpaired electrons =3

μ=3(3+2)

μ=15BM

FeH2O6+2: Fe+2:3d6

H2O : Weak field Ligand 

No. of unpaired electrons =4

μ=4(4+2)

μ=24BM

Hence, the answer is option C.
