Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion: Magnetic moment of [Fe(H2O)6]3+ is 5.92 BM and that of [Fe(CN)6]3– is 1.73 BM Reason: Oxidation state of Fe in both the complexes is +3. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Reason is correct but Assertion is not correct
Reason is incorrect but Reason is correct
The correct answer is option (A): Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion

Codes:
A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
