The rate increases by 6.5 every year. Than on this increased rate we further increase it by 1.5 .

So after 1 year we will have a rate of Rs. 27.02

Now further apply rate of 6.5 and then 1.5 on this increased rate for second year.

You get the answer as Rs. 29.12

The answer is like this:

25*(1.065*1.08)^2 $33.07
