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

  • A
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct.
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct.

Given below are two statements,one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: $[CoCl(NH_3)_5]^{2+}$ absorbs at a lower wavelength of light with respect to $[Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)]^{3+}$.
Reason $R$: It is because the wavelength of the light absorbed depends on the oxidation state of the metal ion.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
