Solution

Foreign exchange rate is the rate of domestic currency which can be exchanged for foreign currency. Some economists refer to it as the external value of the domestic currency.
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.
