Constitutional Purpose:

A constitution serves as the supreme legal document that:

• Outlines the government’s structure (e.g., separation of powers in Pakistan’s 1973 Constitution).
• Defines fundamental laws and citizens’ rights (e.g., Articles 8-28 in Pakistan’s Constitution).
• Establishes procedures for governance (e.g., elections, judiciary).

Explanation

Core Reason for Trade:

Comparative Advantage: Countries specialize in producing what they are most efficient at and trade for other goods/services (e.g., Pakistan exports textiles, imports oil).

Diverse Needs: No country produces everything it requires (e.g., Japan imports food due to limited arable land).

OIC's Purpose:

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is the second-largest intergovernmental organization after the UN, aimed at safeguarding the interests of Muslim-majority countries (e.g., Palestine, Kashmir, Islamophobia).

Pakistan's Role:

Explanation

Inflation Defined:

Inflation is the sustained increase in general price levels, reducing purchasing power.

Impact on Pakistan:

Rising Costs: Essential goods (food, fuel) become more expensive, straining households.

Economic Strain: Businesses face higher input costs, leading to slower growth and unemployment.

Currency Depreciation: High inflation often weakens the rupee, worsening imports.

Explanation

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is Pakistan's premier professional Twenty20 cricket league, established in 2015.

It features franchise-based teams (e.g., Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars) and attracts international players.

Islamabad United made history as the inaugural PSL champions in 2016.

Explanation

Let's denote the two numbers as x and y.

Given:

xy = 96 ... (1)

x + y = 35 ... (2)

We can rewrite equation (2) as:

y = 35 - x

Substitute this into equation (1):

x(35 - x) = 96

35x - x² = 96

x² - 35x + 96 = 0

Factoring the quadratic equation:

(x - 3)(x - 32) = 0

x = 3 or x = 32

If x = 3, y = 32

If x = 32, y = 3

The greatest number is 32.

Explanation

Let's denote the cost of one pizza as P and the cost of one donut as D.

From Farhan's purchase:

4P + 3D = 1670 ... (1)

From Hamid's purchase:

6P + 2D = 2280 ... (2)

We can multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3 to make the coefficients of D equal:

8P + 6D = 3340 ... (3)

18P + 6D = 6840 ... (4)

Now, subtract equation (3) from equation (4):

10P = 3500

P = 350
