Explanation:
As there are 6 ammonia ligands which are neutral and hence carry no charge. The chlorine ligands carry a charge of -1 each and thus they have -3 charge on them. But as the molecule in whole is a neutral the coordination sphere must carry a charge of +3. So, the oxidation state of Co is +3
