Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct matching: AW → Banswara; BShw → Sikar; BWhw → Ganganagar; Cwg → Dholpur.
AW (tropical savanna / monsoon) → Banswara: Banswara is in the southern/eastern part of the region with strong monsoon rainfall and a tropical wet-and-dry climate, so it matches AW.
BShw (hot semi-arid / steppe) → Sikar: Sikar has lower rainfall than tropical areas but more than true deserts, characteristic of a hot semi-arid climate.
BWhw (hot desert) → Ganganagar: Ganganagar lies in the extreme northwest and experiences very low rainfall and arid conditions, matching the hot desert climate.
Cwg (monsoon-influenced, milder winters) → Dholpur: Dholpur has comparatively milder winters and receives monsoon rainfall, fitting the Cwg classification.
Tip: Match climates to districts by comparing annual rainfall and seasonal temperature patterns—tropical savanna (heavy monsoon), semi-arid (moderate low rainfall), desert (very low rainfall), and monsoon-influenced temperate (milder winters).
