Marks: +1, -0

The LPA of a state for a year is defined as the average rainfall in the preceding 10 years considering the period of June-August. For example, LPA in 2018 is the average rainfall during 2009-2018 and LPA in 2019 is the average rainfall during 2010-2019. It is also observed that the actual rainfall in Gujarat in 2019 is 20% more than the rainfall in 2009. The LPA of Gujarat in 2019 is closest to

505 mm
475 mm
525 mm
490 mm

The actual rainfall in Gujarat in 2019 is

600 {mm}

. The rainfall in Gujarat in 2009 was

500 {mm}

. As the value of 500 is replaced by 600 in calculating the LPA, the LPA would increase by 10 as it is the average of 10 years. Ans:

(490 {mm})
