Detailed Solution

Three lone pairs and two bond pairs make up the IBr2- molecule. According to the bending rule, all lone pairs should be in an equatorial position for sp3d hybridization in order to reduce lone pair-lone pair repulsion. If all three lone pairs in IBr2- are in this position, both Br will be in conjunction with the axial position, resulting in a linear structure (as all atoms lie in the same line)
