Given:

Principal (P) = ₹25,000

Interest rates: 4% for the 1st year and 5% for the 2nd year

Time (t) = 2 years

Formula used:

Amount for the first year: A1 = P(1 + r1/100)

Amount for the second year: A2 = A1(1 + r2/100)

Calculations:

A1 = 25000(1 + 4/100)

⇒ A1 = 25000 × 1.04

⇒ A1 = 26000

A2 = 26000(1 + 5/100)

⇒ A2 = 26000 × 1.05

⇒ A2 = 27300

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
