    3.95 %

    Explanation:

    This can be calculated mathematically as follows;

    The current rate on two year T Security = ((1 + R1) * (1 + R2)) ^0.5 - 1

    In the question, R1 = 3.75 and R2 = 4.15

    We plug both in the equation above;

    ((1+3.75%) * (1+4.15%)) ^0.5 - 1

    (1.0375 * 1.0415) ^0.5 - 1 = 1.0395 - 1 = 0.0395 or simply 3.95%
