    Anyone knows how is the solution derived ?
    If I were to use L~N(-0.06, variance),
    P(L>0.1)=0.05
    P(Z> (0.1+0.06)/sd) = 0.05
    Seems to be going in the wrong direction.

    As a clue, you are asked to find a 95% VaR (ie min loss in 5% of cases). You have been given the size of the loss that might occur at 5% .....

    P(L>VaR95%)<=0.05
    Given P(L>0.1)=0.05,
    VaR95% should be 0.1?

    Basically that is correct - just convert this to a £ amount
