The correct answer is:
From a mixed precipitate of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ and $\mathrm{AgI}$, ammonia solution dissolves only $\mathrm{AgCl}$
Ammonia can dissolve ppt. of Agcl only due to formation of complex as given below:
$\mathrm{AgCl}+2 \mathrm{NH}_3 \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}$
