The solution manual could not be found for free online. The solution provided is own work. Care to
ec

be exercised for the accuracy of the solution.

There is error in the question, the correct set of d6 ions were Cr (0), Mn (I), Fe (II) and Co (III) –
cs

highlighted ions are wrongly given in the question paper.
