Detailed Solution
In NH3 is less electronegative than N and hence dipole moment of each N-H bond is towards N and create high net dipole moment whereas in NF3, F is more electronegative than N, the dipole moment of each N-F bond is opposite to that of lone pair, hence reducing the net dipole moment.
