Solution

Let $y=f(f(f(x)))+(f(x))^2$ Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get $\begin{aligned} & \frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(f(f(x))) \cdot f^{\prime}(f(x)) \cdot f^{\prime}(x)+2 f(x) \cdot f^{\prime}(x) \\ & \text { At } x=1 \\ & \frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(f(f(1))) \cdot f^{\prime}(f(1)) \cdot f^{\prime}(1)+2 f(1) \cdot f^{\prime}(1) \\ & \frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(f(1)) \cdot f^{\prime}(1) \cdot 3+2 \cdot 1 \cdot 3=f^{\prime}(1) \cdot 3 \cdot 3+6 \\ &=9 f^{\prime}(1)+6=9 \cdot 3+6=27+6=33 \end{aligned}$
