FV=PV(1+r x t  )    r = interest rate /year   t = number of years

102 = 74 (1+r x 2 )

1+ 2r = 102/(74 )

r =.1891892=18.9189%

EP: What you have calculated is "simple" annual rate:

FV=PV[1 + R]^N

102 =74[1 + R]^2

R =17.40% =0.1740 - annual compound rate. Well, now they have both "simple" and "compound" rate!.
