Question

In April, the temperature in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh is around ______.
A- 40°C
B- 30°C
C- 20°C
D- 10°C

Answer 1

Hint:
In this case, it is advisable to consider the average temperature in the month of April. Remember that April is the onset of summers, thus the temperature doesn’t go soaring high.

Complete answer:
Weather in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in April is hot and arid. As it is the second month of summer, the weather is sunny and dry. In the case of Gujarat, which has the largest coastline area in India, the climate in April has warm breezes at beaches and humidity in most of the state. Its temperature in April falls in the range of 24°C to 40°C though the mean of the range is approximately 32°C (in April). When it comes to Madhya Pradesh, the summer season arrives in April and during the entire month, the weather remains scorching ranging between 25°C to 45°C but the average temperature is around 30°C.

Now, we shall go by the options to find the correct answer-

A- This option is an incorrect choice, as 40°C is the maximum peak that the temperature can reach in a day; it doesn’t mean that the same temperature shall be found every day. It is for this reason that we use the average temperatures which demarcates a distributed temperature during the days of the month.

B- Yes, it is the correct choice, as the mean temperatures in both Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are around 30°C. We’ve previously stated that we always consider the mean temperature of any place as the temperature is influenced by a variety of factors such as winds, humidity, etc. and thus, it can’t be constant.

C- It is definitely an incorrect choice as the summer temperature can’t be near 20°C. Such temperatures mark the pleasant weather that we find in spring or autumn seasons and not a possibility for the hot and dry month of April.

D- This is not a possibility till long stretches because such temperatures are recorded in the winter season in the hot states like Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Thus, this is an incorrect option.

Therefore , the correct answer is B

Note:
Thus, as we’ve explained earlier, we always consider the mean temperature of any place for the most obvious causes, such as, the inconsistency of temperature. The temperature in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh in the month of April is around 30°C.
