Show answer and solution

Answer: (A) 1 June

The onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala is normally around 1 June, and the monsoon then advances to cover the entire country by about 15 July. Dates earlier in May or later in June or July are possible deviations but are not the normal date, so they are tempting traps.
