Q3 (IAS/1997) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947) › Nationalist leaders

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer by using the codes given below the lists

List I (Climatic Conditions) | List II (Reasons)
I. Chennai is warmer than Calcutta | (A) North-East Monsoon
II. Snowfall in Himalayas | (B) Altitude
III. Rainfall decreases from Depressions | (C) Western West Bengal to Punjab
IV. Sutlej-Ganga Plain gets some rain in water | (D) Distance from sea
| (E) Latitude

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: C
Explanation
Here is the logic for the match: 1. Chennai is warmer than Calcutta because it is closer to the equator (Latitude). 2. Snowfall occurs in the Himalayas due to their great height (Altitude). 3. Rainfall decreases from West Bengal to Punjab because the monsoon winds lose moisture as they travel further inland, away from the moisture source (Distance from sea). 4. The Sutlej-Ganga plain receives winter rain due to Western Disturbances (Western Depressions). Matching these gives: I-E, II-B, III-D, IV-C.
