Explanation The foreign exchange market is the market where the currencies of different countries are bought and sold. The exchange rate is the rate at which a domestic currency is being exchanged for the foreign currency. The exchange rate is being calculated on the basis of the demand for the foreign currency and the supply of the foreign currency. Option (d): When there is inflation in Country U, it would lead to hike in prices in Country U’s economy more than the rate in Country J. As a result, Country J’s goods will become cheaper than Country U’s products and it will increase the demand for Country J’s products.

Similarly, when the rate of interest is higher in Country J, the capital from all other parts will flow toward Country J’s economy. This means Country U’s investors would invest money in Country J and this shifts the demand for Country J’s Yen toward the right. The increase in the popularity of Country J’s products in Country U will increase the demand for Country J’s products in Country U. As a result, Country U has to pay more in Yen to Country J and this shifts the demand curve for Yen toward the right. This means that all the given options cause rightward shift in the demand for Yen. Thus, option 'd' is correct. Option (a): When there is inflation in the Country U, it would lead to hike in prices in Country U’s economy more than the rate in Country J...
