The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which pair of edible plants has two or more than two edible parts, we can analyze each plant listed: 1. **Banana**: - Edible parts: The fruit (banana) is widely consumed. In some regions, the stem and leaves are also used for food (e.g., banana stem curry and banana leaf for serving food). - Total edible parts: 3 (fruit, stem, leaves). 2. **Brinjal** (Eggplant): - Edible parts: Primarily, the fruit (the brinjal itself) is consumed. Other parts like leaves are not commonly eaten. - Total edible parts: 1 (fruit). 3. **Lady's Finger** (Okra): - Edible parts: The fruit (the okra pods) is the main edible part. Other parts like leaves are not typically consumed. - Total edible parts: 1 (fruit). 4. **Pumpkin**: - Edible parts: The fruit (pumpkin flesh) is consumed, and the seeds are also edible and nutritious. The flowers can also be eaten (pumpkin flowers). - Total edible parts: 3 (fruit, seeds, flowers). Now, we need to identify a pair of plants that have two or more edible parts. - **Banana** has 3 edible parts. - **Pumpkin** has 3 edible parts. Both Banana and Pumpkin have two or more edible parts. Therefore, the answer is: **Answer: 1 and 4 (Banana and Pumpkin)** ---
