Argon and Calcium are isobars as their atomic masses are 40 (Ar- 18,22; Ca- 20,20)
Protium (
) and Deutrium ( 
) are isotopes as they have the same number of protons i.e. 1 but different numbers of neutrons i.e 1 and 2 respectively.

isobars means
Isobars are different elements which have the same atomic mass
Atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons
Ar has 18 protons and 22 neutrons, thus its atomic mass is 18+22 = 40 u. Ca has 20 protons and 20 neutrons, thus its atomic mass is 20+20 = 40 u.
