We report the elliptic flow (υ2) of Ks0, Λ, Ξ¯+, ϕ, Ξ−, and Ξ+ at midrapidity for Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at √SNN = 200 GeV. The transverse momentum (pT) and centrality dependence of υ2 have been studied. The number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling for all the (multi-)strange hadrons has also been tested. The dependence in the ratio of average υ2 (〈υ2〉) on centrality shows a deviation from unity indicating a difference in nuclear structure and deformation between the isobars. The results show a systematic size dependence when compared to Cu+Cu, Au+Au, and U+U collisions at similar beam energies.
