Many sources say its a block mountain

As per our knowledge, it is an escarpment and not a block mountain. If you find any source contrary plz refer it here.

Q 31: 

Statement 1 must be correct as there is no source that tells Yada Yada virus is not related to group that belong to Dengue also. 

If we see it technically, both are same. 

PFA the images: 



Chikungunya and Yada Yada Viruses belong to genus Alphavirus whereas Dengue belongs to genus flavivirus.

It's clearly written in NCERT as well as many other sources. Further, it is subject to interpretation as rainfall data that is measured varies according to the agencies. However generally country receives more than 75% of its rainfall from the southwest monsoon. Unless the question states drastic departure from the data it can be considered as correct.

Again it is subject to interpretation. There are many factors that affect monsoon in India and nobody can deny that El Nino is one of that factor.

@Thinker in question 8, ramganga river meets ganga at KANNAUJ and not HARDOI. please review. 

Ramganga meets Ganga near Kannauj City. However, the place falls within the territorial jurisdiction of the Hardoi district. Ultimately, as NCERT mentions Kannauj, we had rectified the answer.
