Question

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : In octahedral complexes, when $\Delta_{\mathrm{o}} \lt \mathrm{P}$ high spin complexes are formed. When $\Delta_{\mathrm{o}} \gt \mathrm{P}$ low spin complexes are formed.
Statement (II) : In tetrahedral complexes because of $\Delta_{\mathrm{t}} \lt \mathrm{P}$, low spin complexes are rarely formed.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

In octahedral complex $(\mathrm{CN}=6)$ If $\Delta_0 \lt $ P.E., then high spin complexes are formed If $\Delta_0 \gt $ P.E., then low spin complexes are formed But in tetrahedral complex $(\mathrm{CN}=4)$ $\Delta_t \lt $ P.E., then mainly high spin complexes are formed and rarely low spin complexes are formed.
