   I had a problem, I know that the best thing to do was to work the question out however just looking at the options. A has a return of 8% and risk of 5% while B provide the same return for a lower risk and also has a positive correlation with Janis current protfolio.
   Could i have use that to eliminate A immediate/

     @odette123, No you cannot eliminate A immediately. Because there is positive correlation, it could mean that the total risk ended up higher. The only way you can check for certain is by calculating the total risk for both alternatives.
