To calculate the maturity amount for an investment compounded quarterly, we need to adjust the annual interest rate and the time period according to the compounding frequency. The formula for compound interest will be used, where the rate is divided by the number of compounding periods per year, and the time is multiplied by the number of compounding periods per year.
Since the interest is compounded quarterly, there are 4 compounding periods in a year. The rate per compounding period (\(r\)) will be the annual rate divided by 4.
\[ r = \frac{R}{4} = \frac{0.20}{4} = 0.05 \]The investment is for 6 months. In terms of quarters, this is:
\[ \text{Number of quarters} = \frac{\text{Total months}}{\text{Months per quarter}} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \]The formula for the amount (\(A\)) after compound interest is:
\[ A = P \left(1 + r\right)^n \]Where:
Substitute the values:
\[ A = 14000 \left(1 + 0.05\right)^2 \]\[ A = 14000 \left(1.05\right)^2 \]\[ A = 14000 \times 1.1025 \]\[ A = 15435 \]The amount Mr. Sriram will get on maturity is Rs. 15,435.
Correct Option: D) Rs. 15,435
The question asks for the specific date when the Kyoto Climate Change Conference took place. This requires knowledge of key environmental conferences and their historical timelines.
The Kyoto Protocol was an international treaty that extended the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It committed state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, based on the scientific consensus that global warming is occurring and it is extremely likely that human-made CO2 emissions have predominantly caused it.
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on December 11, 1997, and entered into force on February 16, 2005.
B) December 1997 is the correct answer because the Kyoto Climate Change Conference, where the Kyoto Protocol was adopted, took place in December 1997.

To answer this question, we need to recall the standard layers of Earth's atmosphere and their order starting from the surface and moving upwards into space. This is a fundamental concept in geography and environmental science.
Based on this order, the sequence from the Earth's surface upwards is Troposphere – Stratosphere – Mesosphere – Thermosphere.
Correct Option: A) Troposphere – Stratosphere – Mesosphere – Thermosphere
The question asks to identify the first mammal species to go extinct due to human-induced climate change. This requires knowledge of specific extinction events linked to climate change.
Correct Option: C) Bramble Cay melomys
The Bramble Cay melomys (Melomys rubicola) was a small rodent endemic to Bramble Cay, a tiny island in the Torres Strait. Its extinction was officially declared in 2016 and was directly attributed to rising sea levels and increased frequency of storm surges, which led to the inundation of its habitat, destruction of vegetation, and ultimately, its disappearance. This makes it the first documented mammal species to be wiped out by human-induced climate change.
