Newton’s third law of motion states that, For every action there will be an equal and opposite reaction.

When we sit on a chair, you will exert a downward force on the chair which is action. Similarly the chair will exert an upward force on you which is a reaction. These two forces are action and reaction pairs. So a pair of forces acts on objects which are interacting with each other.
