Are you asking this because you are actually trying to earn a return on your £100? Or is it some kind of question you've been set?

They are looking to see how you balance risk and return. In this circumstance, volatility and liquidity are very relavant. You also have to decide what is "reasonable" and whether you are going to challenge the premise of the question...for example, the current risk-free 1 year rate is about 150bps, is this a "reasonable" return?
