    Each carpel of Gloriosa encloses 60 ovules, out of which 27% became abortive and another 13% could not be fertilized due to various reasons. How many seeds occur in the capsule if all the remaining ovules are fertilized in the lone flower of the plant?

    A)  36                                         

    B)  76

    C)  108                                       

    D)  180

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Gynoecium of Gloriosa contains 3 carpels. Number of ovules in each carpels = 60 (given) Thus, total number of ovules \[=60\times 3=180\] Percentage of abortive ovules = 27% Percentage of unfertilized ovules =13% Thus, total number of fertilized ovules \[=100-27-13=60%\] So, No of seeds in a cone flower of Gloriosa = 60% of 180 \[=60\times 180/100=108.\]
