Detailed Solution

In AB3 type of molecule, central atom has 3 bond pairs and no lone pairs.

The shape of  AB3 is Trigonal planarAB3E type of molecule has total 3 bond pairs and 1 lone pair around the central atom.  Hence, the molecular geometry is Trigonal pyramidalAB3E2 type of molecule has 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs around the central atom. Therefore, the geometry of molecule is ‘T shape or Angular’.
