Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Both $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ and $[CoF_6]^{3-}$ complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behaviour.
Statement $II$: $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ is diamagnetic whereas $[CoF_6]^{3-}$ is paramagnetic.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
