खालील दोन विधाने पहा. / Consider the following two statements :
(a)कोरड्या क्षेत्रात पाऊस कमी-जास्त पडण्याची शक्यता जास्त नसते. / In dry areas chances of receiving high or low rainfall are not high.
(b)जलशास्त्रीय दुष्काळ वृक्षतोडी व अमर्याद चराई मुळेच चालू होतो. / Hydrological droughts begin with illicit felling of trees and overgrazing only.
Statement A is incorrect because dry areas actually have a high variability and probability of receiving erratic or high/low rainfall. Statement B is incorrect because hydrological droughts are caused by a combination of meteorological factors, climate change, and human activities—not 'only' tree felling and overgrazing.
