In General Awareness Static General Knowledge plays an important role along with other
topics. Sometimes these 3 - 4 Marks become the very much difference between the Cut-off
Marks & Marks scored by us. In order to get selected these marks are very crucial. To boost
your exam prep we are here with a series of Static GK topics. Today we will discuss
Countries, their Capital & its Currency. The questions generally asked in exams are the
currency or capital of a country which is in the news. It is a very important topic for CDS,
CAPF, AFCAT and other defence exams.

We have divided the countries on the basis of Continents for ease of preparation. There is
Free PDF of the same at the bottom.
