Detailed Solution

In similar molecules of a group  in which the central atom has lone pair , bond angle decreases

down the group as the E.N of central atom decreases

NH3 > PH3 > AsH3 > SbH3 > BiH3

   H2O> H2S > H2Se > H2Te > H2Po

Consider H2O  and  H2Po

Bond pairs in H2O are closer to Oxygen due to its higher E.N

So lone pair has lesser influence

Bond pairs in H2Po are farther to Po due to its lesser E.N

So lone pair has greater influence

\therefore  Down the group from H2O to H2Po as E.N of central atom decreases

influence of lone pair increases, bond pairs come closer to each other ,

bond angle decreases
