Question map
Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched? Country : Currency
Explanation
The correct pair is Cambodia and the Riel. Official records from ASEAN and the National Bank of Cambodia confirm that the Riel is the national currency of Cambodia [t2, t7]. The other options are incorrectly matched: Myanmar's currency is the Kyat, not the Baht [t9]; Thailand's currency is the Baht, not the Kyat [t2, t7]; and Vietnam's currency is the Dong, not the Rupiah [t2, t4, t8]. The Rupiah is the official currency of Indonesia [t1, t6, t8]. These currencies are central to the economic profiles of Southeast Asian nations, which are often grouped together as ASEAN member states [c4, t2]. While some countries like Cambodia and Indonesia print high-denomination notes in their respective currencies (Riel and Rupiah), the specific pairing of Cambodia with the Riel remains the only accurate match among the provided choices [t1].
