Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
If both lakes had rainfall of less than 200mm in a month, then their combined rainfall obviously cannot exceed 400mm. Using this, we can immediately eliminate 9 out of 12 months. From the remaining three months — June, August, and October — only the first two have combined rainfall exceeding 400mm.
Drop-down 2:
There are three real contenders for the correct answer:
- From June to July, the drop is from approximately 550mm to 300mm, which is less than 2 times.
- From August to September, the drop is from approximately 450mm to 100mm, which is about 4.5 times.
- From October to November, the drop is from approximately 300mm to 100mm, which is about 3 times.
Thus, the largest drop is from August to September.
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "2"
Dropdown 2: "From August to September "
