Correct Answer: It receives 500 mm rainfall per year.


Solution : The correct option is It receives 500 mm of rainfall per year .

The statement "It receives 500 mm of rainfall per year" is not correct about the Indian Desert. The Indian Desert, also known as the Thar Desert, is an arid region characterised by low rainfall. It receives much less than 500 mm of rainfall per year. The actual annual rainfall in the Thar Desert is generally in the range of 100 to 500 mm, making it a desert with low precipitation.
