Answer options
Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: Five hundred rupee
Explanation: When a numeral + amount is used as an adjective before a noun, the noun stays in the singular form. A. Five hundred rupee ✅ – correct, because rupee here acts as a unit adjective, not plural. B. Five hundred rupees ❌ – incorrect when placed before the noun note (but correct if used alone: I have five hundred rupees). C. Five hundreds rupee ❌ – wrong; ‘hundred’ never takes s when preceded by a number. D. Five hundreds rupee ❌ – same error as above. ✔ Correct Sentence: I need a five hundred rupee note. ✅
