Explanation:

1. First statement is incorrect as Arabian sea of Branch is first to strike and gives maximum rainfall also.

Reasons are

The Arabian Sea is larger than the Bay of Bengal, and the entire Arabian Sea current advances towards India, whereas only a part of the Bay of Bengal current enters India, the remainder proceeding to Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia.

2. The Retreat of Monsoons is a process much slower than its arrival. It does not imply a right about turn but a gradual change of comparative pressure positions, thus gradually weakening and reducing the area of coverage and influence.

3. Third statement is also correct.
