Identify the pairs which are not of isotopes?

Isotopes are species of same elements having different mass number (proton+neutron) number, they have the same atomic number or proton numbers but differ in numbers of neutrons.


Therefore, the entities (iii)146 X, 147 Y and (iv)84X, 85Y are not at all isotopes as they have atomic numbers 6 and 7, 4 and 5 respectively.


Other 2 options (i) 126 X, 136 y (ii) 3517X, 3717Y are definitely isotopes.
