Detailed Solution

In the compounds having sp3 d or sp3 d2 hybridisation, all bonds are not equal length.
In the case of PCl5 two axial, P-C bonds are longer than the three equatorial bonds as they suffer greater repulsion than the equatorial bonds.

But for SF6 the equatorial bonds are longer than the axial one. So correct options are A,B
