  2. five-hundred rupee
  3. five hundreds rupees
  4. five hundreds rupee

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: five-hundred rupee

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) five-hundred rupee šŸ“š Explanation: In English, when a number and a noun act together as an adjective to describe another noun, they are joined by a hyphen and the first noun stays singular. The word 'rupee' describes the type of note, so it does not take an 's'. This specific rule prevents the phrase from becoming plural before it reaches the final object. It is the standard way to describe denominations, such as a ten-mile walk or a two-hour delay.
