Explanation

Amount = Principal + Interest. 15000 = P + 5000. P = 10000.

AI explanation

The total amount received is the sum of the principal invested and the interest paid by the bank. By subtracting the interest of Rs. 5000 from the total amount of Rs. 15000, we get the invested principal. The calculated principal amount is Rs. 10000.
