The molecule having 3 bond pair and 2 lone pair will have the hybridization sp3d .The geometry will be trigonal bipyramidal but the shape will be different because it is affected by the number of lone pairs. It has two lone pairs so they will be placed at axial positions to minimise repulsion .Hence the shape will be trigonal planar .
