What key technical factor fundamentally altered international field hockey, contributing significantly to Pakistan’s decline?
💡 Explanation:Pakistan's golden era in field hockey coincided with the game being played on natural grass. The mandatory global transition to expensive, synthetic Astroturf pitches for international tournaments starting in the 1970s and 80s required massive investment in infrastructure and a change in technique (favoring speed and short passes). Pakistan's government and the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) struggled with the financial burden of adopting and maintaining these surfaces, which is consistently cited as a major contributing factor to the national team's long-term decline, as players were not trained on modern facilities.

Why do regulatory authorities prohibit cross-subsidisation between merged dominant and subsidiary entities?
💡 Explanation:Regulatory bodies prohibit cross-subsidisation, particularly in cases involving a dominant market player, to prevent the entity from using profits from a less competitive/upstream market to fund unreasonably low (predatory) prices in a competitive/downstream market. This practice is a form of market abuse that forecloses competition, so prohibiting it ensures a level playing field and fair competition.

What fundamental capability distinguishes a quantum bit (qubit) from a classical bit?
💡 Explanation:A classical bit can only be in one state (0 or 1) at any given time. A quantum bit, or qubit, can leverage the quantum mechanical principle of superposition to exist as a weighted combination of 0 and 1 simultaneously until it is measured. This capability allows quantum computers to perform computations on multiple states concurrently, leading to potential exponential speedups for certain problems.
