The correct statement are,

(P) Steric number ' 7 ' gives sp3d3 hybridization.

The incorrect statement are,

(R) Lone pair does not cause any distortion in the bond angle is incorrect. Because their is variations in bonding angles because the three lone pairs of electrons interact with the three iodine atoms in an equal manner.

(Q) In ClF3 , at least one bond angle is exactly 180° is incorrect. Because Chlorine trifluoride has a trigonal bipyramidal electron shape and a 175° F-Cl-F bond angle.
