The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the synandrous condition in cucurbits and the structure of their male flowers, we can break down the solution into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Synandrous condition is found in cucurbits." - **Explanation**: The synandrous condition refers to the fusion of the stamens in a flower, where both the anthers and filaments are fused together. This condition is indeed observed in cucurbits, such as bitter gourd and cucumber. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that "The male flower of cucurbits generally contains five stamens which are laterally fused (anthers and filaments both)." - **Explanation**: In the male flowers of cucurbits, there are typically five stamens that are fused together. This fusion includes both the anthers and the filaments, which is characteristic of the synandrous condition. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of the Statements**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. The assertion correctly identifies the presence of the synandrous condition in cucurbits, and the reason accurately describes the structure of the male flower in these plants. 4. **Determining the Relationship**: - The reason provided is a correct explanation of the assertion. The fact that cucurbits exhibit a synandrous condition is directly supported by the structure of their male flowers, which contain five laterally fused stamens. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. ---

Passage : Post office is useful to measure the value of unknown resistance correctly upto 2nd decimal place. It is based on Wheatstone bridge. Systematic diagrams of post office box are shown in the above figures. Each of the arms AB and BC contains three resistance of 10 Omega, 100 Omega and 1000 Omega . These arms are generally known as ratio arms. With the help of these resistance, we can introduce resistance P in arm AB and Resistance Q in arm BC. The resistance arm AD is complete resistance box containing resistance from 1 Omega "to" 5000 Omega . In this arm, we can introduced resistance R by taking out plugs of suitable values. The unknown resistance X is connected in fourth arm CD. These four arms actually form Wheatstone bridge shown in figure. For balanced conditions, no deflection is formed in galvanometer. At balanced condition PX= QR , X= (QR)/( P) While measuring surface tension of water using capillary rise method, height of the lower meniscus from free surface of water is 3cm while inner radius of capillary tubne is found to be 0.5cm. Then compute surface tension of water using this data. [Take contact angle between glass and water as 0° and g=9.8 ms^(-2) ]
