Correct Answer :

Option C

a - iv, b - iii, c - ii, d - i

Solution :

The correct answer is a - iv, b - iii, c - ii, d - i.

To match each floral formula given in Column-I with its corresponding plant family in Column-II, let us analyze the characteristics of each formula step-by-step:

1. Analysis of (a):
Formula: %K(5)C1+2+(2)A(9)+1G_1
• Symbol % represents a zygomorphic flower.
C1+2+(2) indicates a papilionaceous corolla consisting of 1 standard, 2 wings, and 2 fused keels.
A(9)+1 indicates diadelphous stamens.
G_1 represents a monocarpellary superior ovary.
This floral formula is characteristic of the family Fabaceae (iii) / Solanaceae (iv).

2. Analysis of (b):
Formula: K(5)C(5)A5G_(2)
• Symbol represents an actinomorphic flower.
• Epipetalous stamens indicated by an arc connecting C(5) and A5.
G_(2) indicates a bicarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary.
This matches Fabaceae (iii) / Solanaceae (iv).

3. Analysis of (c):
Formula: P(3+3)A3+3G_(3)
P(3+3) shows perianth of 6 tepals arranged in two whorls of 3 each.
• Stamens are epiphyllous, attached to tepals.
G_(3) represents a tricarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary.
This is the characteristic formula of family Liliaceae (ii).

4. Analysis of (d):
Formula: K2+2C4A2+4G_(2)
• Sepals K2+2 in two whorls.
• Petals C4 arranged in a cruciform manner.
• Stamens A2+4 are tetradynamous (6 stamens in two whorls).
• Superior bicarpellary ovary G_(2).
This is the formula for family Brassicaceae (i).

Therefore, combining these matches gives: a - iv, b - iii, c - ii, d - i.
