      Solution

      ·        Value at Risk (VaR)  measures the maximum potential loss over a given time horizon at a specific confidence level, assuming normal market conditions. ·        A  99% confidence level  means that there is a 99% probability that the losses will  not  exceed ₹20 lakh. ·        Conversely, there is a  1% probability (100% - 99%)  that the loss will exceed the VaR amount of ₹20 lakh.
