The electronic and magnetic states in doped perovskite cobaltites, (La,Sr)CoO3, are studied in the numerically exact diagonalization method on Co2O11 clusters. For realistic parameter values, it is shown that a high spin state and an intermediate spin state coexist in one-hole-doped clusters due to strong p-d mixing. The magnetic states in the doped cobaltites obtained in the calculation explain various experimental results.
