$\mathrm{CoSO}_4 \mathrm{Cl} .5 \mathrm{NH}_3$ exists in two isomeric forms ' A ' and ' B '. Isomer ' A ' reacts with $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ to give white precipitate, but does not react with $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$. Isomer 'B' gives white precipitate with $\mathrm{BaCl}_2$ but does not react with $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$. Answer the following questions.
