Question

tomato brinjal and lemon are fruits. comment

Answer 1

The biological characters of tomato, brinjal and lemon classify them as fruits. In our country, as elsewhere in the world, the culinary treatment given to them is one of vegetables and, in common parlance, they are classified accordingly. While for tomato and brinjal, calling them vegetables would not be surprising to anyone, there could be some doubt about lemon, as they are citrus fruits, not dissimilar to oranges or other such fruits.
