Question

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 lower wavelength of light wrt- $$[CoCl(NH_3)_5(H_2O)]^{3+}$$

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:
