Answer:
+1

Step-by-step explanation:
Molecular Formula of Tetraquadichlorochromium (III) is as follow,

[Cr(H₂O)₄Cl₂]ˣ

The oxidation states of elements present in complex are,

H₂O = 0 (Neutral Ligand)

Cl = -1

Cr = +3 (Given)

x = Overall charge
So,
[+3 + (0)₄ + (-1)₂] = x

[+3 - 2] = x

x = +1

Result:
Overall charge on Tetraquadichlorochromium (III) is +1.
