Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025

Correct Answer: c) Subtropical Monsoon

Explanation:
– Bihar lies in the middle Ganga plain and is strongly influenced by the southwest monsoon.
– It has hot summers (April–June), cool winters (Dec–Feb), and most of its annual rainfall (around 75–85%) falls during June–September.
– This seasonal pattern fits the humid subtropical monsoon type (Köppen Cwa), commonly termed “Subtropical Monsoon.”
– Hot and dry/hot semi-arid climates are typical of western India (e.g., Rajasthan), and Tropical savannah (Aw) is more typical of parts of peninsular India—not most of Bihar.
