Which of the following orbitals are degenerate? 3d xy , 4d xy , 3d z 2 , 3d yz , 5d z 2

Which of the following orbitals are degenerate?
3d xy ,  4d xy ,  3d z 2 ,  3d yz ,  5d z 2
  1. 3d xy ,  3d z 2 ,  3d yz
  2. 4d xy ,  3d z 2 ,  3d yz
  3. $3d_{z^{2}}, 3d_{yz}, 5d_{z^{2}}$
  4. None

Solution

The orbitals which belongs to same subshell and same shell are called degenerate orbitals. 3dxy, 3dz2, 3dyzand4dxy, 4dyz, 4dz2 are the two sets of degenerate orbitals.
