Solution

The correct option is C P - 2, Q - T-shaped, R - 1, S - Square pyramidal, T - Square planar, U - $X e F_{4}$
Explanation
- $H_{2} O$ has $2$ lone pairs so $P$ will be $2$ ,
- $C l F_{3}$ has $T$ -shape so $Q$ will be $T$ -shaped,
- $B r F_{5}$ has one lone pair so $R$ will be $1$ ,
- $B r F_{5}$ has the Square pyramidal shape so $S$ will be pyramidal shape,
- $4$ bond pairs and $2$ lone pairs means shape will be the square planner and one of the examples of this type is $X e F_{4}$ .
So the correct option is [C]
