As we learnt in

Dettermination of shape of molecules using VSEPR Theory -

calculate \:X

\\X=(No.\;of\:valence\:electrons\:of\:central\:atom\:)+(No.\:of\:other\:atom\:)+(Negative\:charge\:on\:the\:molecule)-(Positive\:charge\:on\:the\:molecule)

-

 

 H=\frac{1}{2} \left [ V+M-C+A \right ]

V = Valence electrons 

M = No. of surrounding monovalent atoms 

C = Atomic charge 

A = amionic charge

For BF_{3},\ H=\frac{1}{2} \left [3+3-0+0 \right ]=3\:or\:sp^{2}\:hybridization

For , for\ NO_{2}^{-},\ H=\frac{1}{2}\left [ 5+0+1 \right ]=3\:or\:sp^{2}\:hybridization


Option 1)

NO^{-}_{2} and NH_{3}

This solution is incorrect 

Option 2)

BF_{3} and NO^{-}_{2}

This solution is correct 

Option 3)

NH^{-}_{2} and H_{2}O

This solution is incorrect 

Option 4)

BF_{3} and NH^{-}_{2}

This solution is incorrect
