Which one of the following receives an average annual rainfall of below 50 cm50\,\text{cm} in India, indicating highest inadequacy?

Options

  1. AMadhya Pradesh
  2. BHaryana
  3. CLadakh
  4. DJharkhand

Correct answer

C. Ladakh

Step-by-step solution

Ladakh is a cold desert located in the rain shadow region of the Great Himalayas. The Himalayan mountains block the monsoon clouds from reaching this region.

As a result, Ladakh receives an extremely low average annual rainfall of less than 10 cm10\,\text{cm}, which is well below 50 cm50\,\text{cm}. This indicates the highest inadequacy of rainfall among the given options.

Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand receive moderate to high rainfall, while Haryana receives around 40 cm40\,\text{cm} to 60 cm60\,\text{cm} of rainfall annually.
