The isostructural molecules among $\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SiO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{TeO}_2,\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}$are
  1. $\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{TeO}_2$
  2. $\mathrm{CO}_2, \mathrm{SiO}_2,\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}$
  3. $\mathrm{CO}_2,\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}$
  4. $\mathrm{SO}_2, \mathrm{TeO}_2$

Solution

In $\mathrm{CO}_2$ and $\left[\mathrm{NO}_2\right]^{+}$, the central atom are $s p$-hybridised. Hence, they have linear structure. Thus, correct option is (3).
