To neutralize exposures to the Level and Slope principal components (PCs), we must set up a system of equations based on the DV01-weighted risk weights (dollar durations). Let $w_2$ and $w_{10}$ be the risk weights of the 2-year and 10-year swaps relative to the 5-year swap.

The equations for neutralizing the Level and Slope PCs are:

1. Level: $w_2(L_2) + w_{10}(L_{10}) = L_5 \Rightarrow 5.06 w_2 + 5.43 w_{10} = 5.97`$2`) Slope: $w_2(S_2) + w_{10}(S_{10}) = S_5 \Rightarrow -2.93 w_2 + 0.02 w_{10} = -1.28$

Solving for $w_2$ using the Slope equation: $0.02 w_{10} = 2.93 w_2 - 1.28 \Rightarrow w_{10} = 146.5 w_2 - 64$

Substitute $w_{10}$ into the Level equation: $5.06 w_2 + 5.43(146.5 w_2 - 64) = 5.97$`$5.06w_2 + 795.5 w_2 - 347.52 = 5.97$$800.56` w_2 = 353.49 \Rightarrow w_2 \approx 0.4415$ (or 44.2%)

Now find $w_{10}$: $w_{10} = 146.5(0.4415) - 64 \approx 0.688$ (or 68.8%)

The risk weights match Options B and C. Next, calculate the notional amounts ($N_i$) required for the 2-year and 10-year swaps. The risk weight formula is $w_i = \frac{N_i \times DV01_i}{N_5 \times DV01_5}$. Given $N_5 = 100$ million:

• 2-year swap: $N_2 = \frac{w_2 \times N_5 \times DV01_5}{DV01_2} = \frac{0.4415 \times 100 \times 0.0496}{0.0285} = \frac{2.1898}{0.0285} \approx$ 76.84 million EUR.
• 10-year swap: $N_{10} = \frac{w_{10} \times N_5 \times DV01_5}{DV01_{10}} = \frac{0.688 \times 100 \times 0.0496}{0.0731} = \frac{3.4125}{0.0731} \approx$ 46.68 million EUR.

Note: The question's choices structurally swap the notional amounts for the 2-year and 10-year swaps in the matching pair of figures (Option C places 46.68m for 2-year and 76.85m for 10-year). Option C contains the correct numerical outputs despite this structural typo in the source material.
