Solution(By Examveda Team)

The reason for Rajasthan being deficient in rainfall is the winds do not come across any barrier to cause necessary uplift to be cooled. There are multiple reasons behind Rajasthan receiving scanty rainfall. Firstly the Arabian Sea Branch of South West Monsoon that causes rains in Western and South-Western India runs parallel to the Aravalli range and thus hardly causes any rainfall as the winds do not get interrupted.
