As we can see there is high rate of inflation in India, therefore according to purchase power parity India's currency will depreciate.
Quantum of depreciation will be = (Inflation in India / Inflation in UK) -1
= (1.06/1.05) -1
=> 2.91% Indian rupee will depreciate.

Assume that the expected inflation of India is 8 percent while the expected inflation in United Kingdom is 2 percent. Suppose that international capital flows equalize the real interest rates in the two countries and that purchasing-power parity holds so that the nominal exchange rate remains the same. Taking India's perspective, what is the expected change (as a number in percentage terms) in the real exchange rate between the British Pound and the Indian Rupee? Give your answer as a...

India tends to have much higher inflation than Australia and also much higher interest rates than Australia. Inflation and interest rates are much more volatile in India than in industrialised countries. The value of the Indian rupee is typically more volatile than the currencies of industrialised countries from an Australian perspective; it has typically depreciated from one year to the next, but the degree of depreciation has varied substantially. The bid/ask spread tends to be wider for the rupee than...
