In which country women do not have the right to vote?
- (A) Sweden
- (B) America
- (C) Saudi Arabia
- (D) Canada
- (C) Saudi Arabia
IN Saudi Arabia, women did not achieve voting rights or the right to run in municipal elections until 2015, and their first experience came in December of that year. By 2026, the remaining countries in which there is no legal provision for women to vote are Vatican City, Eritrea, and Afghanistan. However, the way in which you approach these questions in the traditional format of older multiple-choice questions will ultimately see Saudi Arabia as the most expected answer.

In the Einstein’s equation E=mc2, what is “c”?

In Einstein’s well-known equation E = mc², ‘c’ represents the speed (velocity) of light in vacuum, which is approximately 3 × 10⁸ m/sec. This value of speed of light is employed as a conversion factor for mass and energy, showing how a small mass may generate an enormous energy since the squared value of ‘c’ is an extremely high number.
