where 50 is coupon payment (semi-annual)
t= time to maturity
Now, we have bond price with us i.e. 898.06
So, we have to calculate the value for 't'
Solving for t, we get answer as 36. Now divide this 36 by 2 so that we we will get number of years i.e. 18. We divided t=36 by 2 because we are getting semi-annual payment.
