    Explanation:

    Given that

    Expected return of security M = 17%

    Standard deviation of Security M = 32%

    Expected return of security S = 13%

    Standard deviation of security S = 19%

    And, the correlation coefficient = 0.78

    So, by considering the above information the co variance is

    = Correlation coefficient * Standard deviation of Security M * Standard deviation of security S

    = 0.78 * 0.32 * 0.19

    = 0.047424
