Given below are two statements :
Statement I : Both \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\) and \([CoF_6]^{3-}\) complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behaviour.
Statement II : \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\) is diamagnetic whereas \([CoF_6]^{3-}\) is paramagnetic.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
