The Haryana state get its moonson rainfall from which branch of the Monsoon ?

Arabian Sea Branch

Bay of bengal Branch

From Both

None of the above

The entire north western states of India gets rainfall from the Bay Of bengal branch .The haryana ,delhi,punjab gets monsoon from both the branches.

The southwest monsoon arrives in two branches called the Bay of Bengal branch and the Arabian Sea branch.
The Arabian Sea side monsoon creates a low-pressure area on the Thar Desert. It is quite stronger than the Bay of Bengal side monsoon.
The Arabian Sea Branch of the Southwest Monsoon first hits the Western Ghats of the coastal state of Kerala, India, thus making this area the first state in India to receive rain from the Southwest Monsoon.
During the South-West Monsoon, Tamil Nadu remains dry because it is located in a rain shadow area.
The advance of the monsoon is much faster in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian Sea.
Punjab-Haryana plains are almost equidistant from both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. Further, direction of both branches of the monsoon winds is oriented towards the Punjab, Haryana plain and this area receives rainfall both from the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea monsoons.

Hence option 3rd is correct.
