Only 2/ केवल 2
Step 1: Statement 1 Analysis / कथन 1 का विश्लेषण
-
Fact / तथ्य: The Thar Desert, also called the Indian Desert, is mainly in western Rajasthan, which is west of the Aravali Range.

Explanation / व्याख्या: The Aravali acts as a barrier to monsoon winds, so most desert land is on the west side.
अरावली पर्वत मोनसून हवाओं को रोकता है, इसलिए रेगिस्तान का मुख्य भाग पश्चिम में है।

Step 2: Statement 2 Analysis / कथन 2 का विश्लेषण
-
Fact / तथ्य: The Thar Desert is an arid region with very low rainfall, usually less than 250 mm annually.
थार रेगिस्तान शुष्क क्षेत्र है, जहाँ वार्षिक वर्षा बहुत कम होती है (आम तौर पर 250 मिमी से कम)। -
Explanation / व्याख्या: Low rainfall leads to sparse vegetation and dry soil. Agriculture depends on irrigation near rivers like Luni.
कम वर्षा के कारण वहाँ वनस्पति कम है और मिट्टी शुष्क है। खेती मुख्य रूप से लूनी नदी जैसे नदियों के पास सिंचाई पर निर्भर है।
