What kind of exercise are suitable to relief knee pain cause by osteoarthritis?

Anything that has a high probability of exacerbating the osteoarthritis pain should be avoided. This includes all high impact sports and exercise. Swimming is ideal, since the warm water and fluid movement can help relieve some of your stiffness. Also, to build strength in the joints, resistance training via exercise bands may help. Walking may also help, but avoid jogging, especially on hard surfaces such as concrete, since the force against the joints will certainly make the pain worse. Hope this helps. :)

In addition to what has been posted above ,by 'thelastp' I would recommend doing Quadriceps exercises.
Quadriceps is the muscle in front of the thigh. Developing that muscle prevents disabilities due to osteo arthritis of the knee.
One such exercise is
1. Lie on a flat surface with face up and legs extended and together. With each leg do the following exercises
2. Raise the extended leg about 9 inches wit knee extended and count up to 10 seconds and lower. Repeat about 15 times.
Do the same with the other limb too.
Do these exercises at least once daily through out.
The progress of osteoarthritis cannot be completely arrested
