The correct answer is: i>iii>iv>ii

Complex
(i) FeF63-Fe3+[Ar]3 d5, F- is WFL

n=5,  μ=35 B.M

(ii)CoNH363+Co3+Ar3 d6,NH3 is SFL

n=0, μ=0 B.M

(iii) NiCl42-Ni2+Ar3 d8,Cl-WFL

n=2, μ=8 B.M

(iv) CuNH342+Cu2+Ar3 d9,NH3SFL

n=1, μ=3 B.M

Thus correct order of spin only magnetic moment is

(i)>(iii)>(iv)>(ii)
