Explanation of Solution

Suppose there are two countries, namely A and B. If Country A wants to make trade with Country B, A wants to demand B’s currency more and the increased demand for B’s currency will lead its value to increase. To buy B’s currency, A needs to sell its currency. Then, the supply of A’s currency will be raised in the economy. Lead Country A to depreciate, due to the excess supply of currency and Country B to appreciate, due to excess demand for the currency.
