Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: a hundred-rupees note
Explanation:
Given data
Concept/Approach
When a number + noun acts as a compound adjective before another noun, the unit stays in the singular form and is hyphenated: ‘‘a hundred-rupee note’’, ‘‘a five-kilometre run’’, ‘‘a ten-year plan’’.
Step-by-step correction
Replace ‘‘rupees’’ with the singular attributive form → ‘‘a hundred-rupee note’’.The rest of the sentence is correct and idiomatic.
Verification/Alternative
If we place the value after the noun, the plural is fine: ‘‘a note of hundred rupees’’ (no hyphen then).
