A coordination compound with molecular formula CrCl3.4H2O precipitates
one mole of AgCl with AgNO3 solution. Its molar conductivity is found to be
equivalent to two ions. What is the structural formula and name of the
compound?

Since the options are not given, I am giving a general and an assumed answer.
The correct answer may be - [CrCl₂(H₂O)₅]Cl.H₂O.
Since the question says that AgNO₃ has been used to precipitate 1 mol of AgCl, it means that 1 Chlorine atom has been removed from the formed coordination compound. Therefore, that one Cl atom will remain outside the coordination bracket.

If it forms silver chloride then there is one free chlorine atom outside the coordination sphere. The structural formula has to be [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl.
There are one cation and one anion which corresponds to a total of two ions which show conductivity. The name of this complex is tetraaquadichlorido chromium(III) chloride.
