Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution
The correct answer is "a two hundred-rupee note."
Explanation:
Rule: When a number plus a unit (such as a currency) functions as a compound adjective before a noun, the unit is used in the singular and the words are hyphenated.
Apply the rule: use "rupee" (singular) and hyphenate the phrase: "two hundred-rupee note."
Article choice: use the indefinite article "a" because the sentence refers to one unspecified note given to the beggar.
Correct sentence: Dinesh is very rich and he gave the beggar a two hundred-rupee note.
