Correct answer: C
Concept
A "which of the following statements are correct" item is settled claim by claim, never combination by combination. Each numbered claim is tested on its own against the standard description of the region, and a listed combination can stand only if every claim inside it survives that test.
For a state-geography set the recurring testable descriptors are four: the Köppen climate label of the state, the wind system that delivers its rainy season, the state’s standing in a biodiversity count, and the physiographic siting of its capital. Handle them one at a time.
Applying it to Tripura
Climate label. "China type" is the popular name for the warm-temperate C-group regime of south-east China (Cwa/Cfa in Köppen terms), with a hot summer and a comparatively dry winter. Tripura is not placed in that group: the Köppen designation carried by the state is Aw, the tropical savanna type. Claim 1 therefore does not hold.
Rainy season. Tripura’s rains arrive with the south-west monsoon, broadly June to September, and that season supplies the bulk of an annual total ranging from roughly 1,900 mm to 2,900 mm across the state. Claim 2 holds.
Primate richness. Seven of the fifteen free-ranging primate species of India occur in Tripura — including the hoolock gibbon, Bengal slow loris, capped langur, Phayre’s langur, stump-tailed macaque and pig-tailed macaque — and that is the largest tally reported for any Indian state. Claim 3 holds.
Siting of the capital. Agartala stands on the Agartala plain, the low alluvial tract that lies west of the Deotamura range and runs up to the Bangladesh border. That plain is to the west of the state, not to the east. Claim 4 therefore does not hold.
Cross-check
Claim | Standard description | Survives? |
|---|---|---|
1 — climate label | Köppen Aw, tropical savanna — not the C-group "China type" | No |
2 — rainy season | South-west monsoon, roughly June to September | Yes |
3 — primate richness | 7 of India’s 15 primate species, the state high | Yes |
4 — capital’s plain | Agartala plain lies to the west, by the Bangladesh border | No |
Two claims survive, 2 and 3, so the set "2 and 3" is what the question asks for. Any set carrying claim 1 or claim 4 is defeated by that claim alone, which is why the four descriptors must be checked separately before a combination is picked.
