Q: Which photos are stored on my iPad.

I have a MacBook and iPad.

I have iCloud storage with approxmately 10,000 photos stored.

I have photos set to "Download Originals to this Mac" .

I have approximately 1,300 photos stored on my iPad.

I have photos set to "Optimise iPad Storage"

How do I know which photos are actually on my ipad?

It looks like you have iCloud Photo Library turned on for both your iPad and Mac. If so these may explain the options:
iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

Thank you for the info.

What I mean is that I had 1,300 photos on my iPad before I bought my Mac and set up iCloud and I want to know which photos are still on my iPad out of the 10,000 photos I can view on my iPad.

What I am trying to do is free up space on my iPad. The1,300 photos are still on there taking up storage and I want to know how you can tell which ones the are.
