To compare the rainfall data, India Meteorological Department (IMD) calculated the Long Period Average (LPA) of rainfall during period June-August for each of the $16$ states. The figure given below shows the actual rainfall (measured in mm) during June-August, $2019$ and the percentage deviations from LPA of respective states in $2018$. Each state along with its actual rainfall is presented in the figure.

The LPA of a state for a year is defined as the average rainfall in the preceding $10$ years considering the period of June-August. For example, LPA in $2018$ is the average rainfall during $2009-2018$ and LPA in $2019$ is the average rainfall during $2010-2019$. It is also observed that the actual rainfall in Gujarat in $2019$ is $20\%$ more than the rainfall in $2009$. The LPA of Gujarat in $2019$ is closest to

  1. $525$mm
  2. $490$mm
  3. $475$mm
  4. $505$mm
