To figure out this problem break it down into steps.

We know that there are 1 - 25 or 25 cards in total, one card is taken out and not replaced so now there are only 24 cards.

25 - 1 = 24.

Find the probability of getting one number greater than 10, this would be all numbers from 10 - 25, which are 25 - 10 = 15 options to choose that will give you a value greater than 10.

Probability = 15/24 = 5/8.

For 2 cards simply multiply the probability by itself to get 2 cards where the number is greater than 10.

5/8 • 5/8 = 25/64.

The probability of getting 2 cards that are greater than 10, are 25/64.

This is the solution.
