Question

1. Monsoonal rainfall is important for agriculture in India.
2. It is available to farmers all over the country throughout the year.

विकल्प

• (B) contradicts (A).

• (B) is the reason for (A).

• (A) is true but (B) is false.

• (A) and (B) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(A) is true but (B) is false.

Explanation:

Monsoonal rainfall is the vital source of Indian agriculture, as a large section of the country’s agricultural land is solely dependent on rainfed crops. However, this rain is mainly seasonal, occurring primarily between June and September and dispersed unevenly over various places rather than being available all year. As a result, while the monsoon plays an important role, the assumption that it is always available is false.
