HELLO,
HF and HOCl is more acidic than HOBr and HOCl
this is because if you compare the charge densities of HF & HOBr because HOCl is common thing in both so you have to compare the charge density of HF & HOCl
we know that
charge density is inversely proportional to the acidity
i will give you charge density 
F
so flourine is having least charge density than bromine so it must have high acidic character
So HF is stronger than HOBr
THANK YOU
