Answer :

North eastern India receives abundant rainfall from South West Monsoon winds because of the presence of hills and mountains int he region.

There is a decrease in rainfall as one goes from east to west. So Kolkata receives heavier rainfall than Patna and Patna receives heavier rainfall than Delhi.

It is because as winds go from east to west they start loosing their moisture. So places in  the east get more rainfall than te places located in the west. Patna is located to the east of Delhi.

Answer:

  1. Patna receives heavier rain than Delhi because the Bay of Bengal branch of South-West Monsoon goes up the Ganga plain.
  2. As it proceeds up the Ganga valley, the amount of rainfall keeps decreasing east to west.
  3. Since Patna is located to the east of Delhi, it receives 102 cm of rainfall while Delhi gets 50 cm of rainfall annually.
