It's an approx answer...you won't say 26.25 meiotic division will occur but it doesn't seems crct...so only
kavithanatarasan1909:
the options has 26 too.....26 is much closer to than 27....then why not 26
no we can't say 26 na because we are getting the answer more than that
so only
because 0.25 division will not occur
so only
oh...thank you...i have been exhausting myself in this question for a long time...thank you so much

For formation of 4 pollen grains = 1 Meiotic divison is required, So for the formation of 105 pollen grains = 1/4 x 105 = 26.25 Meiotic divisions are required. This is according to calculation but we have to use common sense that half a pollen can't be formed, so 27 meiotic divisions will take place.
then why not 26
It’s better to have more pollen than not even 105
26 divisions won’t give 105 pollen grains but 27 will
