Which Pakistani scientist won Nobel Prize?

A. Abdul Qadeer Khan
B. Abdus Salam
C. Sharmeen Obaid
D. Malala Yousafzai
Correct Answer: B. Abdus Salam

Abdus Salam is the correct answer as he was a brilliant theoretical physicist from Pakistan who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979. He shared the prize with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg for their independent contributions to the electroweak theory, which unifies the electromagnetic and weak forces. This groundbreaking work is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics, significantly advancing our understanding of fundamental forces in the universe. Salam's achievement brought immense international recognition to Pakistan in the scientific community.

  • Abdul Qadeer Khan was a nuclear scientist but did not win a Nobel Prize.
  • Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is a filmmaker who won two Academy Awards, not a Nobel Prize in science.
  • Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her advocacy for girls' education, not a science prize.
