The correct answer is: 0 and 0
If the complex MA2B2is sp3 hybridised then the shape of this complex is tetrahedral this structure is optically inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry



Optical isomers = 0 (b) If the complex MA 2 B 2 is dsp 2 hybridised then the shape of this complex is square planar.



Both isomers are optically inactive due to the presence of plane of symmetry. Optical isomers =0
