Let,tensile stress on one plane(t.s1) = 1200mpa.

Tensile stress on another plane(t.s2) = 600mpa.

Shear stress (s.s) = 400mpa.

Now using major principal stress formula = [(t.s1+t.s2)/2]+sqrt[{(t.s1-t.s2)*(t.s1-t.s2)}/2 +(s.s*s.s)].

Normal stress & principal stress are not same, then how we can use the formula of max principal stress for finding normal stress.

Yes, this formula applicable for finding Max. Normal stress in all types of questions.

@Amol is this formula applicable for finding Max. Normal stress in all types of questions?

Assume stress in X direction(X) = 1200.
Stress in Y direction(Y) = 600.
Shear stress(S) = 400.

Max. Normal stress=(X+Y)/2+Sqrt(((X-Y)/2)square+S square).

=(1200+600)/2 + sqrt(300 square + 400 square).

=1400 mpa.

By using mohr's circle we can easily find out the maximum principle stress.

Use max. Principal stress formula.
