Answer 1

Punjab is the leading producer of wheat in India because of the suitable climatic conditions.

Answer 2

Punjab is the leading producer of wheat in India because it has fertile alluvial soil, suitable cool climate during the growing season, and extensive canal irrigation facilities. The availability of irrigation helps in the timely watering of wheat crops, and the moderate winter temperature along with adequate winter rainfall favors wheat growth, making Punjab highly suitable for wheat cultivation.
