Placing bananas in a paper bag or any other enclosed environment will hasten the ripening process. This is due to the fact that, as a banana ripens, it emits ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is essential in the ripening process. If you place bananas in a bag, the gas concentrates and the ripening process accelerates. Ethylene gas is what banana importers use to accelerate the ripening of bananas prior to sending them to market.

If you put a banana into a brown paper bag and leave in the fridge overnight it will go brown
Other fruits will not be damaged if placed in a bag with a banana. However, other fruits will ripen faster when placed in a paper bag with a banana. Some may ripen so fast that they spoil.
Place the banana in a paper bag with an apple or tomato. The bag will trap ethylene gas, speeding up the ripening process.
Ripening apples produce ethylene (C2H4), a plant growth hormone. The ethylene promotes the growth (ripening) of the banana. The paper bag stops the ethylene from dispersing -- it keeps the ethylene concentration high.
True.
Put the custard apples in a brown paper cover/bag and put one banana in it. The banana will fasten the ripening process. Leave it overnight.

Put them on a sunny windowsill and wait or pop them in a brown paper bag with a banana for 2 days.
To ripen mangoes faster, place them in a paper bag with a banana or apple. The ethylene gas released by the banana or apple will help speed up the ripening process of the mangoes.
Increasing the room's temperature, exposure to ethylene gas, storing the fruit in an enclosed container, such as a paper bag, and exposure to fruit that has already ripened, will accelerate the ripening process.
