I think that you have botched the question because it is impossible to tell if the 3 is supposed to be the number of (NO#) ligands associated to the iron atom or if it is intended to be the charge on the group. I advise rechecking and reposting the question.

There are several equilibria, but the most important one is:

Fe3+ + SCN- -----> [FeSCN]2+ (blood red colour)
