%X The nature of magnetism in the cubic spinel Cr<sub>0.1</sub>Mn_0.9Fe_0.2Co_1.8O_4 is reported based onsystematic investigations by means of magnetization (M), ac susceptibility (χ) and heat capacity (C_P) measurements, as well as by neutron diffraction. Structural characterization of the samplewas done using x−ray absorption spectroscopy, neutron and synchrotron diffraction. The M vs. Tvariation in different magnetic fields indicate ferrimagnetic ordering below T_C = 230 K,followed by a magnetic field and anisotropy induced spin reorientation at TSR ∼150 K. Withincreasing T starting from 2 K, the coercivity HC and anisotropy field HK decrease and becomenegligible for T > T_SR. A model to explain the HC vs. T data shows that TSR is due toreorientation of M along H when H > H_K. The C_P vs. T data shows a weak λ −type anomaly atTC with changes in magnetic entropy smaller than those observed below TSR suggesting thatlong−range magnetic ordering is completed below T_SR. For T_SR < T < T_C, the presence ofweakly interacting magnetic clusters having weak short−range interactions is evident based onanalysis of magnetization and ac susceptibilities. Exchange constants (J_AA/k_B = 7.9 K, J_AB/k_B = 22.6 K and J_BB/k_B = –5.3 K) are determined from the temperature dependence of paramagneticsusceptibility for T > T_C. This analysis also shows the low−spin S = 0 state of Co^3+ ions on the B sites which along with negligible H_K for T_SR < T < T_C
