The secondary valency and the number of hydrogen bonded water molecule(s) in CuSO4 . 5H2O, respectively, are :
5 and 1
4 and 1
6 and 5
6 and 4

Explanation

CuSO4.5H2O $$ \Rightarrow $$ [Cu(H2O)4]SO4.H2O

In CuSO4.5H2O, Cu is co-ordinated with 4 water molecule and two more oxygen atom from sulphate ion and fifth water molecule is hydrogen bonded.
