Question

Which Indian Ocean island country uses the "Rufiyaa" as its official currency for domestic and international transactions?

• A. Sri Lanka
• B. Maldives
• C. Mauritius
• D. Seychelles

Hint:

Be careful not to confuse "Rupee" (used by India, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Nepal, and Seychelles) with "Rufiyaa" (used exclusively by Maldives) or "Rupiah" (used by Indonesia).
Although they share the same Sanskrit etymological root, they are completely distinct currencies.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Currency recall.
The Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) is the currency of Maldives. Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and Seychelles all use Rupee variants.
Answer: Maldives
