AIIMS 2019 Biology Types of Fruits MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

Which of the following is incorrect

A

Mango and coconut are drupe fruit

B

According to Euro norm IV sulphur content for petrol is 50 ppm

C

CO₂ and other poisonous gases cause pollution

D

Apple is a true fruit

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Option D is incorrect because an apple is classified as a pome fruit, not a true fruit. True fruits develop from a single ovary and include types like drupes (e.g., mango and coconut) and berries, while pome fruits, such as apples, develop from a floral structure that includes a fleshy receptacle.

Option A is correct as both mango and coconut are indeed drupe fruits, characterized by a hard stone containing the seed. Option B is also accurate; Euro norm IV specifies that the maximum sulfur content in petrol is 50 ppm (parts per million). Option C is true since CO₂ and other toxic gases contribute significantly to environmental pollution.
