Observation

This question was very popular among the candidates.

Their performance in the question was average.  Most of those who answered the question got the correct answers for the calculations in (i) and (ii) but could not correctly identify the climatic region as hot desert climate.  Many of the candidates who answered the question could not draw the required graph perfectly.  Candidates are advised to practice the drawing of temperature and rainfall graphs to improve their performance
