    The YTM is less than 10%

    Explanation:

    If a coupon rate of a bond is greater than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a premium. The Bond's current price would be greater than its Face value

    If a coupon rate of a bond is less than its yield to maturity (YTM), the bond is said to trade at a discount. The bonds current price would be less than its face value

    In this Question, the bond's current price ($1,197.93) is greater than its face

    ($1,000) which means that the bond is trading at a premium. Therefore, we can conclude that the bond's YTM is less than its coupon payment. In this question the coupon rate is 10%, therefore the YTM should be less than 10%.
