As dipole moment is a product of charges and distance between charges, in case of Methyl Chloride the bond length is greater although charges are less, the product of charges and bond length is greater than that of Methyl Flouride.
Hope this helps.

Dear student
fluorine has more charge than chlorine, the bond length of the fluoride is much lesser than the chloride as fluorine is more electronegativ, Now we know that,
Dipole moment=Charge*Distance
So taking this into account, methyl chloride has higher dipole moment than methyl fluoride.
