Solution

The correct answer is b. Loan B has a higher risk.

Here's why:

The risk of a loan is determined by the probability of default and the loss given default. In this case, both loans A and B have the same probability of default (5 per cent). However, the proportion of the principal and interest that is collectible on default is higher for loan A. This means that if loan A defaults, the bank can recover more money than if loan B defaults. Therefore, loan B is riskier for the bank.
