The prediction indicates that ocean temperatures could rise by 4.4°C by the end of the century under the SSP 8.5 scenario, which represents a high greenhouse gas emissions pathway. This significant warming could exceed the tolerance limits of many fish species, leading to severe impacts on marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Notably, this level of warming could fundamentally alter marine habitats and the species that inhabit them, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) technology is a groundbreaking method that enables scientists to collect genetic material from the environment, specifically water samples, to identify various marine species. Over three years, studies employing this technology have successfully identified thousands of species across multiple World Heritage sites. This method is particularly valuable for monitoring biodiversity and detecting rare or invasive species, which aids in timely conservation efforts. The ability to assess marine life without direct observation makes eDNA an important tool in marine biology.

Kerala boasts an impressive employability rate of 87.47% for individuals aged 22-25. This high rate reflects the effectiveness of the state's skill development initiatives and the readiness of young professionals to enter the job market.

The Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Bill, 2024 introduces a provision that permits oil exploration in previously restricted areas, including zones that were formerly labeled as "no-go" due to security concerns, such as missile testing sites. This expansion is aimed at unlocking new potential for oil and gas production, which is crucial for reducing India's dependence on expensive oil imports. An interesting aspect of this bill is that it expands the definition of "mineral oils" to include new types of resources like shale oil and gas hydrates.

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a small genetic fragment discovered in cancer cells, which plays a crucial role in enhancing oncogene expression, leading to rapid tumor growth and treatment resistance. This unique characteristic of ecDNA makes it a significant focus in cancer research, as it is prevalent across various tumor types and presents potential therapeutic targets for innovative cancer treatments.

Efficiency of B and C = 11.11 + 5.55 = 16.66%
Work done in 3 days = 3 x 16.66 = 50%
Rest work done by B, C and D = 50/50 = 1 day
Work can be completed in 4 days.

Here M₁ = 30, D1 = 16,
T₁ = 9, M₂ = 36 and T₂ = 8
By formula, M₁D₁T₁ = M₂D₂T₂
30 x 16 x 9 = 36 x D2 x 8
∴ D₂ = (30 x 16 x 9)/(36 x 8) = 15 days

Required percentage

The only daughter of the father of A's mother' means the mother of A.

Hence, A is the child of the lady in the photograph.

He is the son.

∴ The answer is son.

The pattern is + 4, + 9, + 16, + 25, + 36, ..... i.e. + 2², + 3², + 4², + 5², + 6²,.....

So, missing term = 91 + 7² = 91 + 49 = 140.

Points A and E show the starting and end position respectively of Lakshman. It is clear that E is 10 km away from A. 

Average age of the family 5 years ago (3 members) = 27 years
Sum of the ages of the 3 older members now= (27 + 5) × 3 = 96 years
Average age of the family now (4 members) = 25 years
Sum of the ages of the 4 numbers of the family now = 25 ×4 = 100 years
So, Age of child = 100 – 96 = 4 years

Total number of marbles with the children = (100 × 2) + (40 × 15) + (3 × 0)  = 800.
Average number of marbles with the children = Total number of marbles/Total number of children = 800/20 = 40

Substituting the signs equation in the option 1, it becomes: 8 × 4 + 1 ÷ 1 - 1 = 32, which is correct.
