Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) I-E, II-B, III-D, IV-C
I→E: Chennai lies at a lower latitude than Kolkata, so it is warmer. II→B: Himalayan snowfall is due to high altitude. III→D: As Bay-of-Bengal depressions move inland, increasing distance from the sea causes rainfall to decline westwards from West Bengal to Punjab. IV→C: Winter rain on the Sutlej-Ganga plain is produced by west-moving ‘Western Disturbances’. The mapping I-E, II-B, III-D, IV-C corresponds to option (c); other permutations mismatch at least one causal factor.
