Approximate Modified Duration Question

A 0.392
B 3.888
C 3.970

The answer shown is B on Kaplan. But how do you find V- & V+ in the first place ?
The question didn’t give YTM% so I can’t seem to solve for V- or V+
Much appreciated.

Okay so it seems that the question is incomplete. Thank you so much

It’s not incomplete.

It tells you everything you need to answer the question.

It’s at par, which means YTM = Coupon.
