As Fe2+  is more stable than Fe3+ due to principle of half-filled orbitals .
In  K4Fe(CN)6   ,  Fe is in oxidation state of +2
in  K3Fe(CN)6    ,  Fe  is  in oxidation state of +3

hence , K3Fe(CN)6 is more stable .

k4fe(cn)6 or k3fe(cn)6 we have to compare this

k4fe(cn)6 it forms k^+ + [feCn_{6} ]^4-  when it dissociates.

charge on this compound is x + 1*(6)  -4 = 0\ \x = 2

oxidation state = +2

k3fe(cn)6 it forms k^+ + [ feCn_6]^3- when it dissociates.

charge on this compound is

x + 1(6) - 3 = 0\\x = 3

oxidation state is +3

Higher the oxidation state of the central item in the complex, higher is the stabillity.

therefore, k3[FeCn)6 is more stable.
