Solution

The correct option is B sp3d,sp3,sp2d2
In PCl5 No, of e pairs around central atom P=5
No of lone pairs =0 and hybridisation - sp3d Shape = trigonal bipyramidal. In PCl+4number. of e pairs =4, lone pairs =0, hybridisation =sp3 and shapetetrahedral.
In PCl6 number of e pairs =6, lone pairs =0,hybridisation=sp3d2 and shape is octahedral.
