Inflorescence is racemose in

A brinjal
B tulip
C aloe
D soybean

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) soybean

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(d) : Racemose inflorescence is also called indefinite and indeterminate type. Growth of the peduncle is indefinite. Here the terminal bud will not modify into a flower. Flowers develop in acropetal succession \(i.e.\), mature flowers are towards the base and the younger ones towards the tip of the peduncle. Flowers open in centripetal succession \(i.e.\), opening of flowers proceeds from the periphery to the centre of the inflorescence. Peduncle may be unbranched or branched. Soybean belongs to family Fabaceae which has racemose inflorescence.

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
