The different types of bonds present in $\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ are
  1. only ionic and covalent
  2. only ionic, covalent and coordinate covalent
  3. only covalent, coordinate covalent and hydrogen
  4. ionic, covalent, coordinate covalent and hydrogen

Solution

According to structure of $\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$. A covalent bond is present between sulphur and oxygen as they are non-metals and the bond between copper and sulphate is ionic i.e. one is metal and other is non-metal. Hydrated copper sulphate is a complex which is bonded to water molecules acting as ligand forming coordinate bond. The $\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ ions from coordinate covalents bonds with water as well as sulphate ions.
