HELLO DARSHANA,
it is negative deviation because of the following reasons.
There is formation of hydrogen bond between acetone and chloroform when they are mixed,so between acetone and chloroform escaping tendency of both them is lowered 
and also when hydrogen bonding is formed it increases inter molecular attraction between them and hence decreases the vapour pressure
hence it shows negative deviation
THANK YOU
