Hint: A fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering. Fruits are the means by which flowering plants disseminate their seeds.

Complete answer:
Fruit is a seed-bearing structure formed from the ovary after flowering in flowering plants (also known as angiosperms). The gram seeds are a dark brown colour. They have a pointed one end and around the other end. These are contained in a small fruit known as a pod. The pea is the small spherical seed or seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum. A mango (Mangifera indica) is a fruit derived from a variety of tropical trees in the flowering plant genus Mangifera.

Angiosperms disseminate their seeds through fruits. Edible fruits, in particular, have spread in a symbiotic relationship with the movements of humans and animals as a means of seed dispersal and nutrition; in fact, humans and many animals have spread edible fruits. As a result, fruits account for a significant portion of global agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and pomegranate) have developed extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.

In everyday parlance, "fruit" refers to the fleshy seed-associated structures of a plant that are sweet or sour and edible raw, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical terms, however, "fruit" includes many structures that are not commonly referred to as "fruits," such as bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains. The section of a fungus that produces spores is also called a fruiting body.

Thus, Gram, Pea, and Mango are fruits.

Note: Many common language terms for fruits and seeds do not correspond to botanical classifications. Cucumber, pumpkin, and squash (all cucurbits); beans, peanuts, and peas (all legumes); corn, eggplant, bell pepper (or sweet pepper), and tomato are all botanically classified fruits that are commonly referred to as vegetables. Chilli pepper and allspice are botanically speaking fruits.
