The correct answer is Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, where the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation was held, with the Raksha Mantri speaking for India.

A fluid at rest presses on the walls and has pressure at every point, but that pressure is not the same at all depths.

Zero on the Kelvin scale lies 273.15 degrees below the freezing point of water. The Kelvin and Celsius scales have degrees of the same size, so T(K) = t(°C) + 273.15.

Nitrogen and oxygen combine only when a lot of energy is supplied. The nitrogen molecule is held by a very strong triple bond, so breaking it takes much energy, and the reaction N₂ + O₂ → 2NO absorbs heat.

He was Viceroy from 1926 to 1931, which covers the Dandi March of 1930.

Hydrogen adds across the carbon–carbon double bonds of the oil. Vegetable oils are unsaturated: their fatty acid chains contain C=C double bonds, which keep them liquid.

He patented the flying shuttle in England in 1733. The flying shuttle let a single weaver send the thread across the loom by pulling a cord, so wider cloth could be woven much faster.

The charge moves exactly opposite to the field, and a magnetic field exerts no force on a charge moving along its line.

It takes most force to start an object moving, less to keep it sliding and least to keep it rolling.

The Equator and the Prime Meridian both lie on circles whose centre is the centre of the Earth.

Urea, CO(NH₂)₂, has a molar mass of 60 g, of which 28 g is nitrogen and 4 g is hydrogen.

Mature human red blood cells lose these organelles as they develop. Red blood cells are made in the red bone marrow and push out their nucleus and other organelles before entering the blood.

The slightest push makes the ball fall off and it does not come back. A body is in unstable equilibrium when a small displacement lowers its centre of gravity, so the forces acting on it move it further away instead of back.

It is a carbon compound with a carboxyl group, so it is an organic acid. Acetic acid (ethanoic acid, CH₃COOH) contains the –COOH group typical of carboxylic acids.

Gandhiji first used and shaped Satyagraha there while fighting racial laws against Indians. Gandhiji went to South Africa in 1893 as a lawyer and stayed about 21 years.

Soaps are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic (fatty) acids, not ammonium salts. A soap molecule has a long hydrocarbon tail that mixes with oil and an ionic head that faces water.

Indian farming is dominated by food crops, not cash crops. Most of India’s cropped area is under food grains such as rice, wheat, millets and pulses, grown largely to feed the farm family and the country.

Diamond and crystalline silicon have the same crystal structure. Isomorphous means having the same crystal form.
