Question

Match List I with List II:

List I		List II
A	Rose	I	Twisted aestivation
B	Pea	II	Perigynous flower
C	Cotton	III	Drupe
D	Mango	IV	Marginal placentation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• B. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the problem of matching List I with List II, we need to understand each term in both lists. Here are the details:

• Rose: Roses typically have perigynous flowers where sepals, petals, and stamens are attached around the edge of a concave structure and not directly beneath a superior ovary, which matches with II.
• Pea: Peas exhibit marginal placentation, where ovules are attached to a single ridge forming the placenta. This matches with IV.
• Cotton: The flower of cotton shows twisted aestivation, where petals overlap in a twisted manner, which corresponds to I.
• Mango: Mango develops from a single ovary and forms a drupe, a type of fruit with a fleshy outer layer surrounding a single seed, which matches with III.

Therefore, the correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
