    A raceme inflorescence of Tamarindus bears 15 flowers. Each fertile anther lobe of its flower contains 215 pollen grains. What would be the total number of pollen grains produced by the inflorescence:

    A)  64500                                  

    B)  32250

    C)  9350                                     

    D)  16125  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     No. of flowers in the infloresence of tamarindus = 15 (given). No of stamens in each flower are = 3. Thus, total number of stamens \[=15\times 3=45.\] Each stamen has two lobes. Thus, total number of lobes \[=45\times 2=90.\] Because each lobe produces 215 pollen grains. Thus, total no. of pollen grains in 90 anther lobes \[=90\times 215=19350.\]
