The metal's d - orbitals that are directly facing the ligands in K 3 C o C N 6 are:

The metal's d- orbitals that are directly facing the ligands in K3CoCN6 are:
  1. dxy,dxz and dyz
  2. dx2-y2 and dz2
  3. dxy and dx2-y2
  4. dxz,dyz and dz2

Solution

Give K3[CoCN6] is inner orbital complex with hybridization d2sp3 and octahedral geometry. Ligands are approaching metal along the axes. Hence dx2-y2,dz2 orbitals are directly in front of the ligands.
