D Correct answer
Explanation

The total amount received is the sum of the principal invested and the interest earned. Given 15000 = Principal + 5000, the principal is 10000.

AI explanation

The amount received is the sum of the principal and the interest, so we subtract the interest from the total amount to find the invested principal. Subtracting the interest of 5000 from the amount of 15000 gives 15000 - 5000. The amount Priya invested is 10000.
