The question seems a bit incomplete. Is Jitendra is also investing back all of his profit into the business again or not? If yes, then we can compute his total profit like shown below. 
 
So, for the first year, P = Rs 25,00,000
profit% = 5%
Hence profit = 5% of 25,00,000 = Rs125000
 
Hence, total capital for the next year = Rs 25,00,000 + 125000 = Rs 26,25,000
Profit for second year = 10%
Hence profit = 10% of 26,25,000 = Rs 262500
 
Hence, total profit = Rs1,25,000 + Rs 2,62,500  = Rs387500
