Solution :

To match the floral formulas in List-I with their respective families in List-II, let us analyze the diagnostic features of each formula shown in the images:

1. Image (a):
The formula is:
P ( 3 + 3 ) A 3 + 3 G _ ( 3 )
This formula shows actinomorphic () and bisexual () flowers. The perianth (P) consists of 6 tepals arranged in two whorls of 3 each, fused (P(3+3)). The stamens (A) are 6, epitepalous (indicated by the arc over P and A). The gynoecium (G) is tricarpellary, syncarpous, and superior. This is characteristic of the family Liliaceae.
Therefore, (a) matches with (ii).

2. Image (b):
The formula is:
% K ( 5 ) C 1 + 2 + ( 2 ) A ( 9 ) + 1 G _ 1
This formula shows zygomorphic (%) and bisexual () flowers. The calyx (K) has 5 fused sepals. The corolla (C) exhibits a papilionaceous aestivation (1 standard + 2 wings + 2 fused keels). The androecium (A) is diadelphous with 10 stamens in two bundles of (9) + 1. The gynoecium (G) is monocarpellary and superior. This is characteristic of the family Fabaceae.
Therefore, (b) matches with (iii).

3. Image (c):
The formula is:
K ( 5 ) C ( 5 ) A 5 G _ 2
This formula shows actinomorphic () and bisexual () flowers. The calyx (K) has 5 fused sepals. The corolla (C) has 5 fused petals. The stamens (A) are 5 and epipetalous (indicated by the arc over C and A). The gynoecium (G) is bicarpellary and superior. This is characteristic of the family Solanaceae.
Therefore, (c) matches with (iv).

4. Image (d):
The formula is:
K 2 + 2 C 4 A 2 + 4 G _ ( 2 )
This formula shows actinomorphic () and bisexual () flowers. The calyx has 4 sepals arranged in two whorls of 2 each (K2+2). The corolla has 4 cruciform petals (C4). The androecium has 6 stamens in a tetradynamous arrangement (2 short outer and 4 long inner stamens, represented as A2+4). The gynoecium is bicarpellary, syncarpous, and superior. This is characteristic of the family Brassicaceae.
Therefore, (d) matches with (i).

Correct Matching Summary:
(a) - (ii)
(b) - (iii)
(c) - (iv)
(d) - (i)
