But fluorine applies the strongest -I effect and as we know that acidic strength is directly proportional to -I, so according to this para fluorophenol must be the most acidic one. But the answer is parachlorophenol. Help.

The acidic strength of phenols is affected by the presence of substituents on the ring.
An electron-withdrawing group increases the acidic strength by greater dispersal of the negative charge on the phenoxide ion by inductive effect (-I) or by resonance (-R) effect.
An electron-donating group decreases the acidic strength due to (+I) or (+R) or both.
Halogens have +R and -I effects, but the -I effect is more dominant.
Therefore, all halophenols are more acidic(except p-fluorophenol) than phenol itself.
