Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The breezes from the Arabian Sea climb the inclines of the Western Ghats from 900-1200 m. Before they become calm, the windward side of the Western Ghats gets exceptionally heavy precipitation running between 250 cm and 400 cm. After crossing the Western Ghats, these breezes plunge and get warmed up. This lessens mugginess in the breezes. Thus, these breezes cause little rainfall in the Eastern Ghats.
The Western Ghats block downpour-bearing breezes, which cause rainfall on the western inclines. However, the South-west storm moves lined up with the Eastern Ghats, which causes less rainfall because the Eastern Ghats are unfit to impede dampness-loaded breezes.
