D potato

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) tomato

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) : A true fruit consists of a pericarp (fruit wall) formed from ovary wall and seeds formed from ovules. Pericarp is divisible into epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp. Tomato is a berry fruit derived from bicarpellary, syncarpous, bi-to-tetralocular ovary with swollen placentae. Berry consists of a membranous skin represented by epicarp. Mesocarp is the middle fleshy part. Endocarp, septa and placentae are pulpy and edible. All parts of the fruit, except the small seeds, are edible.

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.
