Answer 1

Hint: India's climate is defined as the 'monsoon' type. This type of climate is found in Asia, and mostly in the south and southeast. There are perceptible regional variations in climatic conditions within the country, despite an overall unity in the general trend.
The monsoon withdrawal starts at the beginning of September in the northwestern states of India.

Complete answer:
Option A)
Mumbai and Kolkata
Mumbai's climate is tropical, dry and moist. With elevated humidity levels, this place is hot. Kolkata has a dry and humid tropical climate. The tropical and coastal nature of Mumbai ensures that the temperature does not change much throughout the year.
Since Mumbai and Kolkata are on the seashore, they lie under the sea's mild influence. The towns in the other options are in the interior areas, so like Delhi, they have a similar environment.

Option B)
Patna and Lucknow have a warm temperature. Patna is warm and temperate. Lucknow has a wild, warm temperature and has an extreme type of climate and rainfall is less. Thus, this is an incorrect option.

Option C)
Bikaner and Jaisalmer have hot temperatures. Thus, this is an incorrect option.

Option D)
Ranchi has a dry climate and Asansol has a tropical climate. Thus, this is an incorrect option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A)

Note: Monsoon winds heavily influence the climate of India. In historic times, the sailors who came to India were one of the first to note the monsoon phenomenon.
As they came from sailing ships at the hands of waves, they gained from the reversal of the wind system. This seasonal reversal of the wind system 'monsoon' was named by the Arabs, who had also come to India as traders.
