Multiple unit is just a regular coupling for greater hauling capacity, so that both the units operate as one only.

Re# 737921-17                  
Sorry sir but that is not true.
Mu'ed locos are those which are alive and have live connection.
.
In the above case (as you mentioned), it was simply coupled together as we see numerous times across IR (many engines are attached as relief for a failed loco).

Re# 737921-22                  
Are but there are Mueing cables (as seen on WAG5s and 7s ) which are used for MUing.......
Hydraulic brakes are different. Infact, MUing and simply coupling (as in loco + coaches) is completely different.

while going from pune to vasco , it shows more than 60 seats available in 3A , But if you look for reverse journey , vasco to pune it shows around 14-20 seats only (I have checked for exact 60 days prior period). why there is such huge diff in quota ??

A suggestion for passangers travelling to NZM in this train. Its better to get down at Agra and take a bus to Delhi than travelling in this. God only knows how bad NR will treat it by allowing other trains to overtake it and making it delayed by a gud 1+ hour every 5 out of 7 days a week really IR only gud at sucking our money just like govt.

By the time Bus moves from AGC, Goa would be nearing Palwal!!
Its better to alight & delight by boarding the train @ AGC, which probably would overtake Goa Exp on-the-way, probably late running UP SK or close countering Tamilnadu Exp!!
But better to chill & sleep in Goa, by any odds!!

But as per the scheduled TT UP SK departs JHS first and then Goa also the SK arrives NZM at 5.30am and Goa at 6.15 am so not possible for UP SK to overtake Goa.

Re# 738036-8                  
But its more punctual then South bound trains like Goa, GT.... anyways i think Goa and SK have common route only btw JHS to NZM and as per the recent arr/dep history at JHS the SK always departed JHS before Goa. So i think there are hardly any overtakes btw the two but can't say anything about future coz its IR very well known for some strange overtakes and amusing delays.
