    Solution

    The Western coast of India receives more rainfall than the Eastern coast due to the monsoon winds blowing from the Arabian Sea. While Agra and Darjeeling are not on the exact same latitude, both lie close to the 27-degree North latitude. Higher altitudes indeed have thinner air due to lower atmospheric pressure.
