(i) Power may also be shared among different social groups such as the religious and linguistic groups. ‘Community government’ in Belgium is a good example of this arrangement.
(ii) In some countries there are constitutional and legal arrangements whereby socially weaker sections and women are represented in the legislatures and administration. For example in India we follow the principle of ‘reserved constituencies’ in assemblies and the parliament of our country. This type of arrangement is meant to give space in the government and administration to diverse social groups who otherwise would feel alienated from the’ government.
(iii) This method is used to give minority communities a fair share in power.

Yes , sides 7cm,24cm,25cm form a right angle triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse length  is equal to the sum the squares of base and perpendicular length .

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As given

Do sides 7cm ,24cm ,25cm form a right angle triangle .

As hypotenuse sides is always greater length side i.e 25 cm .

625 = 576 + 49

625 = 625

Thus the square of the hypotenuse length  is equal to the sum the squares of base and perpendicular length .

Therefore sides 7cm,24cm,25cm form a right angle triangle

International trade is the order of the day. Technology, particularly IT, has played a big role in organising production across countries.
As the resources are space bound, no country can survive without international trade.
Export and import are the components of trade, as no country can sufficiently produce each and every product required by its people nor can its domestic market consume the products that it produces.
It is for this reason it is said that no country can survive without international trade.

The northeastern part of the country is marked with the presence of difficult hilly and mountainous terrain, dissected relief, large number of rivers, dense forest, heavy rainfall and frequent floods. International frontiers also mark this region. Air transport is the best mode of travel in these areas as airways can negotiate over geographical obstacles and political boundaries with great ease. Roads and railways cannot be properly laid out in such difficult terrain and heavy rainfall and frequent floods disrupt all other modes of transportation. Air transport is the only means of communication under such situations. They can access remote and inaccessible areas in these north-eastern states. They are the fastest and most comfortable means of transport. Domestic airlines have made special provisions to extend air service to the northeastern states at subsidised rates to meet the requirement of the common people. So, the airways are also within the financial reach of the common people in this region.

On account of all these factors, airways is the preferred mode of transportation in the north eastern states of India.

The distribution pattern of the Railway network in the country has been largely influenced by physiographic, economic and administrative factors:

(i)The northern plains with their vast level land, high population density and rich agricultural resources provided the most favourable condition for their growth.

(ii)However, a large number of rivers requiring construction of bridges across their wide beds posed some obstacles.

(iii)In the hilly terrains of the peninsular region, railway tracts are laid through low hills, gaps or tunnels.

(iv)The Himalayan mountainous regions too are unfavourable for the construction of railway lines due to high relief, sparse population and lack of economic opportunities.

(v)Likewise, it was difficult to lay railway lines on the sandy plain of western Rajasthan, swamps of Gujarat, forested tracks of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand.

(i) Construction cost of roads is much lower than railway lines.
(ii) Roads can be constructed easily in hilly terrains and undulating topography.
(iii) Roadways act as a feeder to other modes of transport, as they provide a link between railway stations, air and sea ports.
(iv) Road transport is economical in transportation of few persons and relatively smaller amount of goods over short distances.
Thus, it can be concluded that roadways still have an edge over railways in India.

Opening of stomata: Solutes from neighbouring epidermal and mesophyll cells enter the guard cells lowering its osmotic potential and water potential. This lowered water potential and osmotic potential will allow movement of water into guard cells from neighbouring cells. Guard cells become turgid due to water accumulation in them which results in the opening of the guard cells. 
Closing of stomata: As the somata open the solute concentration is reduced. This makes the water from the guard cells to move away into neighbouring cells. Now, guard cells becom flaccid with no water. They collapse against each other and result in the closing of stomata. 

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 5 months ago

Each stoma is surrounded by two guard cells. The guards are of kidney shaped and contain chloroplasts. There is a respiratory chamber present in each stoma. The mechanism of the closing and opening of the stomata depends upon the presence of sugar and starch present in the guard cells. In the presence of light, the guard cells of the stomata contain sugar which is synthesized by their chloroplasts. The sugar is soluble and increases the concentration of guard cells. Due to higher concentration of the cytoplasm of guard cells, the water enters into these cells from the neighbouring cells by osmosis. Hence the stomata remains open.

in the absence of light the sugar present in guard cells converts into the starch. The starch is insoluble, and this way the guard cells remains in lower concentration than the of neighbouring cells, and the neighbouring cells take out the water from the guard cells by osmosis making them flaccid and the stomata closed.

  1. Power sharing helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Power sharing is a good way to ensure the stability of political order as social conflict often leads to violence and political instability.
  2. Imposing the will of the majority community over others may look like an attractive option in the short run, but in the long run it determines the unity of the nation. Tyranny of the majority is not only oppressive for the minority but it also brings ruin to the majority.
  3. The very spirit of democracy is power sharing. A democratic rule involves sharing power with those affected by its exercise, and who have to live with its effects. Citizens of a country have a right to be consulted on how they are being governed. A legitimate government is one where citizens, through participation, acquire a stake in the system.

he idea of power sharing has emerged in opposition to the notions of undivided political power. For a long time, it was believed that all power of a government must reside in one person or group of persons of located at one place. It was felt that, if the power to decide is dispersed, it would not be possible to take quick decisions and to apply them. These ideas have changed with the emergence of democracy.
