Countries, Capitals and Currencies

Countries, Capitals and Currencies

Questions regarding countries, capitals and their currencies are quite

common in many of the major competitive exams such as SSC, UPSC,

IBPS, RRB, IAS and Banking exams.

Every year at least 1-2 questions in the General Knowledge section of

these exams are based on these. For instance:

Q. Name the capital of Colombia.

a. Vienna

b. Toronto

c. Bogota

d. Suva

As you’re aware, every mark counts. Therefore, it is essential for

candidates appearing for these exams to be prepared for these

questions.

In an attempt to help our students increase their knowledge of the

same, we at Oliveboard have provided the names of all the 197

countries, with their respective capitals and currencies in alphabetical

order, in the following pages of this e-book.
