A Correct answer
Explanation

XeOF5- has one lone pair of electrons with a pentagonal pyramidal shape. PI3 has one lone pair of electrons with a trigonal pyramidal shape. SF6 has zero lone pair of electrons with an octahedral geometry. BrCl3 has two lone pair of electrons and a bent geometry. Hence, the correct answer using the codes is P - 3, Q - 4, R - 1, S - 2.
