• A. a-(iii), b-(v), c-(iv), d-(i)
• B. a-(iv), b-(i), c-(iii), d-(v)
• C. a-(v), b-(i), c-(iv), d-(iii)
• D. a-(v), b-(iii), c-(i), d-(ii)

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

a-(iii), b-(v), c-(iv), d-(i)

	Column I		Column II
(a)	Bicarpellary, unilocular	(iii)	Scilla
(b)	Bicarpellary, bilocular	(v)	Capsicum
(c)	Multicarpellary, multilocular	(iv)	Citrus
(d)	Monocarpellary, unilocular	(i)	Hyoscyamus

(a) Scilla belongs to the family Liliaceae. It shows bicarpellary gynoecium with the unilocular ovary having two ovules arranged in the axile placentation.

(b) Capsicum belongs to the family Solanaceae. The gynoecium is bicarpellary with bilocular ovary showing the axile placentation.

(c) Citrus belongs to the family Rutaceae. The gynoecium is multicarpellary (5 carpels) with multilocular ovary showing axile placentation.

(d) Hyoscyamus belongs to the family Solanaceae but it shows the monocarpellary gynoecium with the unilocular ovary.

Hence, the correct answer is 'a-(iii), b-(v), c-(iv), d-(i)'.
