    A. 2010:.12 U. S. dollars; 2012:.15 U. S. dollars

    Explanation:

    Given that

    In 2010

    $1 bought 8.24 yuan

    In 2012

    $1 bought 6.64 yuan

    Therefore

    In 2010

    1 Chinese yuan will buy (1 dollar * 1 Chinese yuan) : 8.24 chinese yuan

    = 1 : 8.24

    = 0.12 dollars

    Also,

    In 2012

    1 Chinese yuan will buy (1 dollar * 1 Chinese yuan) : 6.64 chinese yuan

    = 1 : 6.64

    = 0.15 dollars
