Expert Solution

Current yield of the most recent T bill (Sep 4, 2020) whose maturity cycle is 91 days cycle is 3.19. This information is retrieved from Reserve Bank of India (rbi.org.in)

Let the face value be 1000. P is the price of the new bill. Current Interest rate is 10%.

If Interest rate increases by 2%, new interest rate is 12%,

Price of new bill P = 1000/(1.12)^(91/365) = 97.21
