Direction: Select the correct option:
I need a ________ note.

  1. A
    five hundred rupees
  2. B
    five-hundred rupee
  3. C
    five hundreds rupees
  4. D
    five hundreds rupee

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

When a number and a noun combine with a hyphen to function as a compound adjective before another noun, the modifying compound block must always be in its singular form.
In the expression "five-hundred rupee note", "five-hundred rupee" acts as a compound adjective modifying the main singular noun "note". Therefore, it is incorrect to pluralize "hundreds" or "rupees" inside the hyphenated modifier block.
