Which country officially became the 10th full member of the BRICS group in January 2025 ?
Indonesia
To determine which country officially became the 10th full member of the BRICS group in January 2025, we must evaluate the given options: Indonesia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
The BRICS group is an association of five major emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Over time, other countries have been invited to join this grouping. Becoming a member of BRICS implies that the country is recognized for its emerging market potential and influence in regional and global affairs.
In recent global geopolitical updates and announcements leading to 2025, Indonesia has been highlighted as being accepted as the 10th member of the BRICS group.
- Indonesia's economic growth and regional influence make it a strong candidate for the BRICS expansion.
- The other countries listed (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey) have been involved in various economic and geopolitical dialogues, but the announcement for the 10th member concluded in favor of Indonesia.
Thus, the correct answer to the question is: Indonesia.
The inclusion of Indonesia aligns with BRICS's goals to incorporate more large emerging markets into their group, reflecting the shifting dynamics of global economies.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a 20 m high building with a speed of 12 m/s. It hits the ground at a distance R from the building. Taking g = 10 m/s2 and neglecting air resistance will give :
A sphere of volume V is made of a material with lower density than water. While on Earth, it floats on water with its volume f1V (f1 < 1) submerged. On the other hand, on a spaceship accelerating with acceleration a < g (g is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth) in outer space, its submerged volume in water is f2V. Then:
A railway wagon (open at the top) of mass M1 is moving with speed v1 along a straight track. As a result of rain, after some time it gets partially filled with water so that the mass of the wagon becomes M2 and speed becomes v2. Taking the rain to be falling vertically and the water stationery inside the wagon, the relation between the two speeds v1 and v2 is :

One block of 2⋅0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3⋅0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0⋅2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
