Do not waste your time looking that link up I tried looking my answer up and it said it was fake.
Answer:
The money must have been invested for 6 years
Explanation:
To calculate the number of years for which the money had been invested, we simply make use of the simple interest formula
Mathematically;
I = PRT/100
according to the question, I is the interest earned= $1275, P is the amount invested = $4,250, R is the interest rate = 5% while T is the time we want to calculate
We can rewrite the simple interest formula to mean;
T = 100I/PR
T = (100 * 1275)/((4250 * 5) = 127500/21,250 = 6 years
The central theme of Kamala Markandaya's Nectar in Sieve is the religion. Religion is presented from secular point of view amidst in all the tragic consequences family faces and in all the moral and physical pains they suffer from. Therefore, it is rather paradoxical to find that the religion has been used from positive aspect. The use of theme amidst the tragic events shows author's cynic approach towards religion. For example, when Rukmani visits her mother, the author narrates her thoughts as:
"...and together we would pray and pray before deity, imploring for help until we were giddy. But the Gods have other things to do; they cannot attend to the pleas of every suppliant who dares to raise his cares to heaven..."
Later in the novel, Rukmani describes Gods as not remote, not unheedful because they heard her son Kuti's cries and made her calm. However, it is not the praise of Gods because she later learns that Kuti's improvement was due to Ira's earning from prostitution.
