Answer: ∠ MRN and ∠NRO

Explanation:

  • A linear pair is a pair of angles that makes a straight angle of 180 degrees.

In the given figure , PN is a line RO is a ray on it.

So, pair of ∠ORP and ∠ORN is a linear pair.

MO is a line and RN is a ray on it.

So pair of ∠ MRN and ∠NRO is a linear pair, which is mentioned in options.

Thus, correct option is ∠ MRN and ∠NRO

Rest of the options are not describing a linear pairs.
