    Yes you can, the same way you can add multiple tags to the same post.

    Yeah you can add it to as many categories you want, its just for a search purpose, its organized and more clean/professional like that. Better indexed I believe for searches

    Will there be any -ve impact from ranking or SEO point of views or Do search engines consider it duplication of contents or dislike this practice?

    Don't add pages/post to multiple categories, it's bad user experience & confusing Google (duplicate pages). Pick one category per page/post.

    Yes, you can assign one or more than one category for each post. Only thing to keep in mind is relevancy. If your post suits multiple categories then you should do.

    Keep user experience in mind not the Google.

    Put the post in the MOST relevant category for the post.
    Yes, i think you need to do more than 1 category and that's will be better for Google and your users.
