Simply get MAX value of Towns and Cities grouped by Country.

SELECT Country, 
       MAX(town1) Town1, MAX(City1) City1, 
       MAX(town2) Town2, MAX(City2) City2, 
       MAX(town3) Town3, MAX(City3) City3, 
       MAX(town4) Town4, MAX(City4) City4, 
       MAX(town5) Town5, MAX(City5) City5
FROM (
      SELECT Country, 
             City, 
             'City' + CAST(ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Country ORDER BY Country) AS varchar(10)) ColumnSequence,
             Town, 
             'Town'+ CAST(ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Country ORDER BY Country) AS varchar(10)) ColumnSequence2 
      FROM Countries
     ) Temp
PIVOT (MAX(City) FOR ColumnSequence IN (City1, City2, City3, City4, City5)) Piv
PIVOT (MAX(Town) FOR ColumnSequence2 IN (town1, town2, town3, town4, town5)) Piv
GROUP BY Country
GO
Country | Town1     | City1     | Town2      | City2      | Town3  | City3      | Town4  | City4      | Town5 | City5
:------ | :-------- | :-------- | :--------- | :--------- | :----- | :--------- | :----- | :--------- | :---- | :----
India   | hyder     | Hyderabad | Bang       | Bangalore  | Del    | New Delhi  | townin | India Town | null  | null 
UK      | chelsea   | London    | sunderland | Birmingham | United | Manchester | null   | null       | null  | null 
USA     | New Jersy | New York  | houst      | Houston    | Dally  | Dallas     | null   | null       | null  | null
