Hi,
you may try the following:

string month = “Feb”
string key = dict.FirstOrDefault(function(x) x.value.Count(function(y) y=month)>0).Key

Cheers

Because inner element is again an array, instead of accessing each element and comparing, you can directly use Array.Contains(element) expression as below -
dictData.FirstOrDefault(function(x) x.Value.Contains()).Key.ToString
