If invested money is 100 then in first six month interest is 100*0.1*1/2=5
Total 100+5=105
In the second six month interest is=105*.1*1/2=5.25

So total 105+5.25=110.25

So rate is 10.25

Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,

S.I. for first 6 months = Rs. 100 x 10 x 1 = Rs. 5
100 x 2
S.I. for last 6 months = Rs. 105 x 10 x 1 = Rs. 5.25
100 x 2
So, amount at the end of 1 year = Rs. (100 + 5 + 5.25) = Rs. 110.25

Effective rate = (110.25 - 100) = 10.25%
