Q. Which of the following has non-zero dipole moment ?

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

This is an asymmetric structure.
Structure of (b) is symmetrical. Here the resultant dipole moments of bonds of 2 'Br' atoms with 'P' get cancelled with the dipole moment of another P - Br bond and the dipole moments of both P - Cl bonds also gets cancelled.
