The correct answer is: 1

In case of Cr3+ ion , the valence shell electronic configuration is same whether the ligand is strong field or weak field.

The spin only magnetic moment , μeff=nn+2BM

The valence shell electronic configuration of Cr3+ is 3d3, hence, it has three unpaired electrons.

μeff  of Cr(CN)6-3=15 B.M. 

μeff of CrH2O6+3=15 B.M. 

Ratio = 1
