Question

Assertion (A) : Anticyclonic conditions are formed in winter season when atmospheric pressure is high and air temperatures are low. 

Reason (R) : Winter rainfall in northern India causes development of anticyclonic conditions with low temperatures.  

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A 

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A 

(c) A is true but R is false 

(d) A is false but R is true

Answer 1

(a) Both assertion and reasons are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion. In north India, a feeble high-pressure region develops, with light winds moving outwards from this area. Influenced by the relief, these winds blow through the Ganga valley from west and north west, which forms an anticyclonic condition in northern part of India.
