Answer:
the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
A yield to maturity can be defined as the bond's total rate of return required by the secondary market while the coupon rate is defined as the annual interest of a bond divided by its face value.
Hence, if the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.

Triangular arbitrage is the act of taking an opportunity resulting from a pricing discrepancy among three different currencies when the currency's exchange rates do not exactly match up
This cases are very rare and for a quite short period of time so there are very few traders who takes the advantange of them.
Lets study th given cases here:
A) NZ dollar Versus Mexican Peso
The exchage rate is 1NZ$= 2 Mexican Pesos (MXP)
But if we apply the triangular arbitrage:
1 NZ dollar = 0.3333 US$
and we know tha 1 US$= 7 Mexican Pesos (MXP
Then 1 NZ dollar = 0.3333* 7 MXP= 2.333 MXP
So the NZ dollar appreciates
B) MXP Versus U$S
The exchage rate is 1 MXP= (1/7) U$S
But if we apply the triangular arbitrage:
1 MXP = 0.5 NZ
and we know tha 1 NZ= 0.333 US$
Then 1 MXP = 0.5* 0.333 U$S= 0.166 U$S
So the MXP appreciates
