What fundamental geopolitical principle guided the territorial settlement of the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815)?
💡 Explanation:The primary geopolitical goal of the Congress of Vienna was to ensure long-term peace and stability in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. This was to be achieved principally through the establishment of a 'Balance of Power,' which involved resizing and redistributing territories among the major powers (Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Britain) to ensure no single state could achieve hegemony. While the principle of 'Legitimacy' (restoring deposed monarchs) was also crucial, and 'Compensation' played a role, the overarching framework for the territorial redrawing was the strategic Balance of Power. National self-determination was actively ignored or suppressed by the conservative powers.

If a fixed amount of ideal gas has its absolute temperature doubled and volume halved, what change occurs in its pressure?
💡 Explanation:This problem is solved using the Combined Gas Law, P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, for a fixed amount of gas (n is constant). If the absolute temperature (T) is doubled (T2 = 2T1) and the volume (V) is halved (V2 = 0.5V1), the final pressure (P2) is calculated as P2 = P1 <strong> (V1/V2) </strong> (T2/T1) = P1 <strong> (V1 / 0.5V1) </strong> (2T1 / T1) = P1 <strong> 2 </strong> 2 = 4P1. The pressure quadruples.

The primary goal is to reduce oil consumption and, consequently, greenhouse gas emissions.

What is the key factor determining a collapsing massive star’s fate: neutron star or black hole?
💡 Explanation:The final fate of a massive star (forming a neutron star or a black hole) is primarily determined by the mass of the compact remnant core <strong>after</strong> the supernova explosion and significant mass loss. If the remnant core's mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) limit (approx. 2.1 to 3.0 solar masses), the internal pressure (neutron degeneracy pressure) is insufficient to resist gravity, leading to the formation of a black hole. If the core mass is below this limit, it stabilizes as a neutron star.

What was the primary effect of abolishing the Concurrent Legislative List in the Constitution of Pakistan?
💡 Explanation:The abolition of the Concurrent Legislative List was a key feature of the 18th Constitutional Amendment (2010). This action transferred 47 subjects from the joint legislative domain of the Federation and Provinces exclusively to the Provinces, a massive act of decentralization which significantly enhanced provincial autonomy and strengthened the federal structure of Pakistan. The 18th Amendment also addressed the Prime Minister's powers and local governments (Article 140A), but the abolition of the Concurrent List is directly responsible for the massive devolution of legislative power.
