Ques. 1AIPMT 2006

Pineapple (ananas) fruit develops from

  1. a multilocular monocarpellary flower
  2. a unilocular polycarpellary flower
  3. a multipistillate syncarpous flower
  4. a cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis

Answer

(4) a cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis

Solution

As per NCERT, in some plants such as pineapple, a fruit develops from the whole inflorescence.

∵ In pineapple the many flowers of a spike-like inflorescence, compactly borne on a common axis, fuse together to form one composite fruit (sorosis).

∴ The fruit develops from a cluster of compactly borne flowers on a common axis, not from a single flower.
