Assertion : In `IOF_(4)^(-)` a single lone pair is present an iodine atom  trans to oxygen  to have minimum repulsion between the `I=0` and the lone pair of electrons.  Reason : The VSEPR model consider double and triple bonds to have slightly greater repulsive effect then single bonds bonds because of the repulsive effective `pi` electrons
