Official Explanation
When you are answering Quantitative Comparison questions, it is a good time-saving idea to see whether you can determine the relative sizes of the two quantities being compared without doing any calculations.
In the table accompanying this question, both the value of the Argentine peso and the value of the Kenyan shilling are compared to the United States
dollar.
Without doing any calculations, you can see from the information given that 1 United States dollar is worth a little less than 1 Argentine peso, so 1 peso is worth more than 1 United States dollar. On the other hand, 1 United States dollar is worth 32.08 Kenyan shillings, so 1 Kenyan shilling is worth only a small fraction of 1 United States dollar.
The correct answer is Choice A.
