Answers
Answer:
1) A coalition government occurs when two or more political parties enter into a formal agreement to cooperate with a view to achieving a majority in parliament and, on that basis, form a government.
merits-
Democracy can provide for changes in government without violence. In a democracy, power is transferred from one party to another by means of elections. The choice of the citizens of a nation determines its ruling authority. The government runs on people's support. Thus, democracy allows for a stable form of government.
demerits-
In a democratic nation, it is the citizens who hold the right to elect their representatives and their governing authorities. According to a common observation, not all the citizens are fully aware of the political scenario in their country or the issues their nation faces. This may result in people making the wrong choices during election.
2)As per latest publication from Election Commission of India, the total number of parties registered was 2598, with 8 national parties, 52 state parties and 2538 unrecognised parties. All registered parties contesting elections need to choose a symbol from a list of available symbols offered by the EC.
3)Unfortunately, Turkish nobles were not happy under the rule of a woman. They did not want to obey the orders of Razia and hence plotted against her. Razia escaped as a refugee but was killed. This act of assasination was not correct at all, because Razia being a good ruler,the country would have flourished.
4)By the time people reached Daulatabad, Muhammad Bin Tughlaq changed his mind and decided to abandon the new capital and move to his old capital Delhi. It is believed that he wished to shift the capital as a safeguard measure from Mongol Invasion. The plan of shifting capital was completely failed.

The difference between merits and demerits is that merits are the strengths of anything be it a policy,law, agreement, action. They show what benefits it has and how it can be gainfully used. Demerits on the other hand are the weaknesses of anything. They tell what problems one should anticipate .Merits means the opposite of demerits.

Muhammad bin Tughlaq
The one decision for which Muhammad bin Tughlaq, the 14th century sultan of Delhi,
is most remembered, is the disastrous shifting of his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in the Deccan, in present-day Maharashtra.
