Co NH 3 6 3 + and CoF 6 3 - are respectively known as:

CoNH363+ and CoF63- are respectively known as:
  1. Spin free Complex, Spin paired Complex
  2. Spin paired Complex, Spin free Complex
  3. Outer orbital Complex, Inner orbital Complex
  4. Inner orbital Complex, Spin paired Complex

Solution

In the complex CoNH363+ Ammonia is strong field ligand and electronic configuration of 

Co3+3 d6t2 g6,eg0

Hybridisation: d2sp3

Pairing of electrons takes place due to the strong field ligand. Hence, it is inner orbital complex (spin paired complex).

In the complex CoF63- fluoride is weak field ligand and electronic configuration of  Co3+ 3d6t2g4,eg2.

Hybridisation: sp3d2

Pairing of electrons not takes place due to the weak field ligand. Hence, it is outer orbital complex (spin free complex).

Hence option B is the answer.
