As we discussed in concept

Geometrical Isomers -

This is due to the difference in relative position of the ligands attached to the central metal atom with respect to each other

-

 

 &

Optical Isomerism -

Optical isomers are mirror images that cannot be suprimposed on one another

-

 

 The complex[Co(en)_2Cl_2]Cl will passes two geometrical isomer (Cis and trans) and its Cis isomer is optically active that's why the total number of isomer in [Co(en)_2Cl_2]Cl is three.
