Solution
The correct option is By>x In N2O4, N=O bond has will have less s character since oxygen is more electronegative. So N−N bond will have more s character so bond length will be less. In second structure, lone pair has more s-character therefore N−N bond will have more p character hence hace more bond length as per bent's rule. .
