Answer 2

${\bold{\mathcal{\huge {\pink {ANSWER:}}}}}$

The repulsion between two bonded pairs is less than that of repulsion between lone pairs it is because the electron cloud of lone pairs are more nearer to each other and have less volume than bonded pairs thus, they experienced more repulsion than that of bonded pairs.

and, According VSEPR theory predicts the structure where lone pairs occupy positions that allow them to experience less repulsion. but experimentally bond pairs are the one who experience less repulsion.
