Detailed Solution

Electronic configuration of Zn2+=[Ar]3d10

Cu+=[Ar]3d10

Zn2+ and Cu+have a 3d10 electrons in its 0 unpaired form. So, they both have the same magnetic properties. Electronic configuration of  Mn4+=[Ar]3d3

Co2+=[Ar]3d7

Mn4+ has  3d3 and   Co2+ has  3d7.Three unpaired electrons are present in both electrical configurations. They therefore share the same magnetic property.
Both ions in the pair will have the same magnetic moment since they have the same number of unpaired electrons.
