Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 1-iii, 2-i, 3-iv, 4-ii.

Key Points

  • Russia — Ruble (iii)
  • Chile — Peso (i)
  • Georgia — Lari (iv)
  • Myanmar — Kyat (ii)

Additional Information

  • The peso is shared across much of Latin America — Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and the Philippines all use a currency of that name.
  • The lari was introduced by Georgia in 1995, replacing the transitional kupon lari after independence from the USSR.
  • Myanmar's kyat is the only one of the four not used by any other country, which makes it the easiest anchor when solving this by elimination.
