Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -All the three statements are correct. Tamil Nadu is the only area which receives about half of its rainfall from north-east monsoon winds. Kerala is the only state receiving very heavy rainfall from the south-west monsoon winds.
Detailed explanation-2: -This happens due to the location of Kerala as its location is in close proximity to the Indian Ocean from where the southwest monsoons retreat.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tamil Nadu receives significantly less rainfall by the southwest monsoon because the Western Ghats blocks the southwest monsoon winds from blowing over the state. Due to this, Coimbatore plateau receives only 50 cm of rain while Nilgiri hills receive nearly 50 cm to 100 cm of rain.
