Consider the following reaction and statements:

{[Co {({NH}_{3})}_{4} {Br}_{2}]}^{+} + {Br}^{-} \to [Co {({NH}_{3})}_{3} {Br}_{3}] + {NH}_{3}

(i) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis-isomer.

(ii) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer.

(iii) Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer.
