Answer

To determine which of the given matches regarding fruits are correct, let's analyze each statement one by one.

1. **Fig - Syconus**:
- A fig is indeed classified as a syconus. This is a type of fruit that develops from a hypanthodium inflorescence. The fig fruit is formed from an enlarged, fleshy, hollow receptacle that contains multiple ovaries. Therefore, this statement is **correct**.

2. **Grape - Pome**:
- Grapes are not classified as pomes. Instead, they are classified as true berries. A pome is a type of fruit that develops from the receptacle of the flower and is characteristic of the Rosaceae family (like apples and pears). Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**.

3. **Papaya - Berry**:
- Papaya is indeed classified as a berry. A berry is a fleshy fruit that develops from a single pistil and contains one or more seeds. Papaya fits this definition perfectly. Therefore, this statement is **correct**.

4. **Mustard - Follicle**:
- Mustard is not classified as a follicle; it is classified as a silique or silicula. A follicle is a type of dry fruit that splits open along one side, while silique is a type of dry fruit that splits open along both sides. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**.

Now, summarizing the correctness of the statements:
- Correct: Fig - Syconus (1)
- Incorrect: Grape - Pome (2)
- Correct: Papaya - Berry (3)
- Incorrect: Mustard - Follicle (4)

Thus, the correct matches are statements 1 and 3.

### Final Answer:
The correct options are **1 and 3**.
