Answer

To find the total number of stamens present in the ten flowers of a twig of Dolichos, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the number of flowers**: We know that the twig of Dolichos has 10 flowers.

2. **Determine the number of stamens per flower**: Dolichos belongs to the Fabaceae family, which typically has 9 stamens per flower.

3. **Calculate the total number of stamens**: To find the total number of stamens in all the flowers, we multiply the number of flowers by the number of stamens per flower:
\[ \text{Total Stamens} = \text{Number of Flowers} \times \text{Number of Stamens per Flower} \]
\[ \text{Total Stamens} = 10 \text{ flowers} \times 9 \text{ stamens/flower} = 90 \text{ stamens} \]

4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the total number of stamens present in the large bundles of all the flowers on the twig of Dolichos is 90.
