The regular payments from the future value $25000$ of the sinking fund are: $$R\cdot \frac{(1+0.06)^{10}-1}{0.06}=25000 \Rightarrow R=1896.7.$$ After $6$ years the fund will be: $$1896.7\cdot \frac{(1+0.06)^6-1}{0.06}=13230.09.$$ The regular payments for the remaining $4$ years are: $$13230.09\cdot (1+0.07)^4+R\cdot \frac{(1+0.07)^4-1}{0.07}=25000 \Rightarrow R=1724.81.$$
