Detailed Solution

Both diamond and silicon carbide have tetrahedral arrangement and central atom is sp3 hybridised. Hence, both are isostructural. 

NH4+ and BF4-, both are tetrahedral and central atom in both cases is  sp3 hybridised. Hence, both are isostructural. 

SiCl4 and PCl4+, both are tetrahedral and central atom in both cases is  sp3  hybridised. Hence, both are isostructural. 

In XeF4,Xe is sp3d2 hybridised and structure is square planar while in XeO4, Xe is sp3 hybridised and structure is tetrahedral. Hence, both are not isostructural.
