A Correct answer
Explanation

XeOF5- has one lone pair of electrons with pentagonal pyramidal shape. PCl3 has one lone pair of electrons with trigonal pyramidal shape. SF6 has zero lone pair of electrons with octahedral geometry. BrF3 has two lone pair of electrons and bent geometry. Hence, the correct answer using the codes is P - 3, Q - 4, R - 1, S - 2.
