Hello!!!
Hope you are doing great!!!!
Fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine.So P-F bond is shorter than P-Cl bond,more the electronegativity more will be the force of attraction.So shorter bondlength.As fluorine's are located in the axial position, hence these P-F bonds which are actually axial bonds are shorter than that of equatorial bonds.
Hope it helps you!!!!
