Which region has low rainfall along with cold dryness?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Ladakh

Ladakh is a high-altitude region in the Himalayas and is widely described as a cold desert. It receives little precipitation because surrounding mountains limit the arrival of moisture-bearing winds, and its great elevation produces low temperatures. As a result, the region can be both very cold and very dry. Option B therefore matches the combination asked for. Kerala and Mumbai receive substantial monsoon rainfall, while Meghalaya is famous for exceptionally heavy rainfall. Their climates do not fit the description of low rainfall with cold dryness.

To solve the question, look for a place that combines high altitude with a rain-shadow effect. Ladakh's cold conditions come mainly from elevation, and its dryness is linked to limited moisture and the sheltering effect of the Himalayas. It is not correct to describe every part of Ladakh as identical in weather throughout the year, but its broad climatic classification is cold and arid. Thus, option B is the best answer and the supplied answer is correct.
