Solution:

This may be an example of complete dominance or incomplete dominance (in both the case the white flowered ratio remains same). In complete dominance when Rr (heterozygous) are selfed then the red and white flower are obtained in 3 : 1 ratio whereas in incomplete dominance the ratio of red, pink and white is 1 : 2 : 1. i. e., the white flowers are same in number (16 here).
