Detailed Solution

In CHCl3 the order of electronegativity of carbon, hydrogen and chlorine is Cl>C>H whereas in CFCl3 the order of electronegativity is F>Cl>CSo, due to the different order of electronegativity in these two molecules, their dipole moments are also different.

As in the case of CHCl3 the net dipole moment is the summation of all other dipole moments, it is greater than CFCl3.

Therefore, the correct option is 1.
