Political Geography
Pakistan is divided into how many regions/parts?
Explanation and memory cue
Pakistan is administratively divided into four provinces: Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. In addition, there is the Islamabad Capital Territory and two autonomous territories: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). These constitute six main administrative regions or parts. This is confirmed by the official Pakistan Bureau of Statistics 2023 data and administrative maps. Therefore, the correct answer is D (6). The original question's answer of 5 is a common simplification that groups AJK and GB together or excludes Islamabad, but the official count of main administrative parts is six.
