Step 1. [Pt(Py)(NH₃)(Br)(Cl)] is a square planar complex with four DIFFERENT monodentate ligands (pyridine, ammine, bromido, chlorido) -- the [MABCD] type from Section 5.5.2.

Step 2. For [MABCD], the section states that fixing any ONE ligand as a reference point, the remaining three ligands can be arranged around it in three genuinely different ways. …
