The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{NaBr}$
$\Lambda_{m}=\Lambda_{m}^{\circ}-A \sqrt{C}$
Out of all the given pairs, the pair having same (similar) charges will possess the same value of $A$. Here, $\mathrm{MgSO}_{4}$ and $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$ and $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$
$\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}$ and $\mathrm{NaBr} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}$and $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$
$\mathrm{NaBr}$ and $\mathrm{MgSO}_{4} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$
$\mathrm{NaCl}$ and $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$
So, only in $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}$ and $\mathrm{NaBr}$, the charge is same on both the cations and hence, there will have same value of $A$.
