which is more stable K4[Fe(CN)6] OR K3[Fe(CN)6] WHY ?

K3[Fe(CN)6] is more stable becoz higer the charge on central atom higher is the stability of complex.Charge on Fe here is +3 while in other is +2.

Stability of the complex depend on the charge density on the central metal ion. The charge density of Fe3+ is more than Fe2+, hence K3[Fe(CN)6] is more stable than K4[Fe(CN)6].
