The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "Flowers are trimerous in family Solanaceae." - **Definition of Trimerous**: Trimerous refers to floral parts that are in multiples of three (3). This includes petals, sepals, and other floral structures. ### Step 2: Evaluating the Assertion In the family Solanaceae, flowers are typically described as pentamerous, meaning they have floral parts in multiples of five (5). - **Conclusion**: The assertion is **false** because flowers in the Solanaceae family are not trimerous; they are pentamerous. ### Step 3: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "Stamens are three in number and carpels are six in number." - **Stamens**: In many Solanaceae flowers, there are usually five stamens. - **Carpels**: The number of carpels can vary, but it is typically not six in the context of the Solanaceae family. ### Step 4: Evaluating the Reason Since the number of stamens is not three (it is usually five) and the number of carpels is not six, the reason provided is also **false**. ### Step 5: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
