Solution

To calculate the total amount after 4 years including the principal, we need to first calculate the simple interest and then add it to the principal amount.

Step 1: Calculate the Simple Interest The formula for simple interest is I = PRT/100, where:

  • P is the principal amount (₹15,000 in this case)
  • R is the rate of interest (8% per annum in this case)
  • T is the time period (4 years in this case)

So, I = (15000 * 8 * 4) / 100 = ₹4800

Step 2: Calculate the Total Amount The total amount is the sum of the principal and the interest. So, the total amount = Principal + Interest = ₹15000 + ₹4800 = ₹19800

So, the total amount after 4 years, including the principal, will be ₹19800.
