The first statement of the passage describes how winter brings in cheer to the people living in several parts of India. Statement A says winter brings in a pleasant respite from the sweltering heat. Statement B is a continuation of A and ideally precedes the last statement which sums up the paragraph by saying that to a majority of Indians tormented by the summer heat, winter diminishes their suffering to a large extent. Hence, statement A and B form a coherent paragraph with the two given statements.
