Answer-

Given

Expected return of risky asset = 18 %

Risk free rate = 5 %

Standard deviation of returns = 21 %

Sharpe's ratio = ( Expected return - Risk free rate) / Standard deviation of returns

Sharpe's ratio = (18 % - 5 % ) / 21 %

Sharpe's ratio = 13 % / 21 %

Sharpe's ratio = 0.619 ~ 0.62

Therefore the correct Option is last option 0.62
