Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Comprehension:
On May 2, 2018, severe dust storms and thunderstorms hit parts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and other adjoining regions. Explaining the
reasons behind such severe weather system, M. Mohapatra, senior scientist with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that
dust storms and thunderstorms are a result of nearly similar weather conditions, like intense heat. Areas that have moisture in the air
experience thunderstorms while those which don’t have moisture experience dust storms.
“All such conditions were being fulfilled on that day. The region had moist easterly winds coming from the Bay of Bengal and there was
western disturbance system too. All this together triggered the events on May 2,” he added. In simple terms, dust storm can be explained
as a phenomenon when strong winds carry dust over an extensive area.
As far as the timing of their occurrence is concerned, Mohapatra stated that there is no deviation in time of occurrence of a dust storm
and thunderstorm activity as they usually peak in the pre-monsoon period.
These events happen between March and May only. In the pre-monsoon period temperatures are very high, around 44-45 degree Celsius
and lead to such activities. Even as dust storms and thunderstorms are a common feature every year there has been no focused work
on studying the trends related to it.
“In the coming years there could be more instances of intense thunderstorms and sand storms but they have to be studied in detail
looking at the data of over 30-40 years to notice a trend. Work has been more or less confined to cyclones and monsoon systems but
not much on dust storms or thunderstorms. It needs study,” admitted Mohapatra.
The extent of damage caused by thunderstorm activity in India can be gauged from the data of India’s National Crime Records Bureau
(NCRB). As per the NCRB data, compared to other natural disasters like cyclone, floods or heat waves, lightning kills more people in
India. For instance, at least 25 percent of the 10,510 accidental deaths attributable to forces of nature in 2015 were due to lightning. The
number of deaths due to lightning has constantly remained over 2,000 every year since 2005.

The extent of damage caused by thunderstorm activity in India can be gauged from the data of India’s National Crime Records Bureau
(NCRB). As per the NCRB data, compared to other natural disasters like cyclone, floods or heat waves, lightning kills more people in
India. For instance, at least 25 percent of the 10,510 accidental deaths attributable to forces of nature in 2015 were due to lightning. The
number of deaths due to lightning has constantly remained over 2,000 every year since 2005.

Question:

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

  1. The western disturbances cause dust storms in Rajasthan and nearby regions.

  2. Both, dust storms and thunderstorms occur due to similar weather conditions like intense heat.

  3. Thunderstorms occur where the air is dry.

  4. Cyclones and monsoon systems have been studied more than dust storms and thunderstorms.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Comprehension:
On May 2, 2018, severe dust storms and thunderstorms hit parts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and other adjoining regions. Explaining the
reasons behind such severe weather system, M. Mohapatra, senior scientist with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that
dust storms and thunderstorms are a result of nearly similar weather conditions, like intense heat. Areas that have moisture in the air
experience thunderstorms while those which don’t have moisture experience dust storms.
“All such conditions were being fulfilled on that day. The region had moist easterly winds coming from the Bay of Bengal and there was
western disturbance system too. All this together triggered the events on May 2,” he added. In simple terms, dust storm can be explained
as a phenomenon when strong winds carry dust over an extensive area.
As far as the timing of their occurrence is concerned, Mohapatra stated that there is no deviation in time of occurrence of a dust storm
and thunderstorm activity as they usually peak in the pre-monsoon period.
These events happen between March and May only. In the pre-monsoon period temperatures are very high, around 44-45 degree Celsius
and lead to such activities. Even as dust storms and thunderstorms are a common feature every year there has been no focused work
on studying the trends related to it.
“In the coming years there could be more instances of intense thunderstorms and sand storms but they have to be studied in detail
looking at the data of over 30-40 years to notice a trend. Work has been more or less confined to cyclones and monsoon systems but
not much on dust storms or thunderstorms. It needs study,” admitted Mohapatra.
