Solution

Fixed rate of exchange refers to the rate of exchange as fixed by the government. Historically, it has two variants; Gold standard system of exchange rate and Bretton woods system of exchange rate.
Flexible rate of exchange is the rate which is determined by the supply-demand forces in the foreign exchange market. It is also called 'free exchange rate' as it is determined by the free play of supply and demand forces in the international money market.
Managed floating is a tool employed by the Central bank to restore the value of the country's currency in relation to other countries within the desired limits, even when the exchange rate is determined by the market forces of demand and supply.
