the atomic species A and B have difference number of protons but the same number of nucleons.on the other hand species X and Y have the same number of protons but different of nucleons. which pair is an example of isobars?why?

Nucleons refers to both protons and neutrons, hence, it also refers to the atomic mass.
Since atomic species A and B have different number of protons but same atomic mass (nucleons) we can conclude that A and B are isobars.
For example, Calcium and Argon.
40 Ca 20, 40 Ar 18
On the other hand X and Y are of the same element (since they have same number of protons) but has different number of nucleons (or atomic mass) they are isotopes.
For example Deuterium and Tritium
2 H 1, 3 H 1.
Hope your doubt is cleared now...

Explanation:
The atomic species A and B have the different number of protons but the same number of nucleons. These are isobars.
Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in a nucleus determines the element's atomic number on the Periodic Table.
