1litre of mixture X + excess AgNO3 →Y,
1litre of mixture X + excess BaCl2 →Z

A.0.01,0.01
B.0.02,0.01
C.0.01,0.02
D.0.02,0.02
Solution
[Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 are known as ionisation isomers. When one reactant in a reaction is in excess then the amount product formed will be according to the reactant which is not in excess.
Complete step by step answer:
First of all let us talk about excess reagent and limiting reagent.
Excess reagent: The reagents which are present in excess amount during the reaction, are known as excess reagent.
Limiting reagents: The reagents which are present in small amounts during the reaction, are known as limiting reagent.
Now let us talk about these reactions which are given in the question.
First reaction which is given in the question is that 1litre of mixture X + excess AgNO3 →Y, where X=0.02mol of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and 0.02mol of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 in 2litres of solution. Now when we want 1litre of mixture X then X=0.01mol of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and 0.01mol of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 (i.e. mass of the substance in the reaction should remain constant). Now we know that [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br will react with AgNO3 to form a precipitate of AgBr and [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 will remain unreacted. And the reaction as follows:
[Co(NH3)5SO4]Br+AgNO3→[Co(NH3)5SO4]NO3+AgBr as amount of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br is 0.01mol so the amount of silver bromide will be 0.01mol because one mole of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br produce one mole of silver bromide i.e. AgBr. So the number of moles of Y is 0.01mol.
Similarly, second reaction given in the question is that 1litre of mixture X + excess BaCl2 →Z, where X=0.02mol of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and 0.02mol of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 in 2litres of solution. Now when we want 1litre of mixture X then X=0.01mol of [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and 0.01mol of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 (i.e. mass of the substance in the reaction should remain constant). Now we know that [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 will react with BaCl2 to form a precipitate of BaSO4 and [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br will remain unreacted. And the reaction as follows:
[Co(NH3)5Br]SO4+BaCl2→[Co(NH3)5Br]Cl2+BaSO4 as amount of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 is 0.01mol so the amount of barium sulphate will be 0.01mol because one mole of [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 produce one mole of barium sulphate i.e. BaSO4. So the number of moles of Z is 0.01mol. So the number of moles of Y and Z formed are 0.01,0.01.
Hence option A is correct.
Note:
Isomerism: It is the phenomenon in which more than one compounds have the same chemical formula but different structures. [Co(NH3)5SO4]Br and [Co(NH3)5Br]SO4 are known as ionisation isomers. Ionisation isomers are those isomers in which molecules are the same i.e. have the same number of atoms present in the atom but the only difference is that they give different ions on ionisation.
