Question

Assertion (A): Anti-cyclonic 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 anti-cyclonic conditions with low temperature.

• A. Both A and R are individually true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are individually 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

Answer:

C. A is true, but R is false.

• Assertion (A) states that anti-cyclonic conditions are formed in the winter season when atmospheric pressure is high and air temperatures are low. This statement is true.
• Anti-cyclonic conditions, also known as high-pressure systems, are often associated with clear skies, calm weather, and lower temperatures.
• In winter, high-pressure systems can lead to cold and stable conditions.
  
  
• Reason (R) states that winter rainfall in Northern India causes the development of anti-cyclonic conditions with low temperature. This statement is not accurate.
• Winter rainfall in Northern India is more often associated with the passage of Western Disturbances, which are low-pressure systems that bring precipitation, rather than the development of high-pressure (anti-cyclonic) conditions.
