English grammar error-spotting (compound numeral adjectives: choose the single erroneous segment among A–D; select ‘‘No error’’ only if the sentence is fully correct): ‘‘The customer handed over / a hundred-rupees note / to the shopkeeper. / No error.’

Given data

• A: ‘‘The customer handed over’’
• B: ‘‘a hundred-rupees note’’
• C: ‘‘to the shopkeeper.’’
• D: ‘‘No error.’’

Concept/ApproachWhen 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 correctionReplace ‘‘rupees’’ with the singular attributive form → ‘‘a hundred-rupee note’’.The rest of the sentence is correct and idiomatic.

Verification/AlternativeIf we place the value after the noun, the plural is fine: ‘‘a note of hundred rupees’’ (no hyphen then).

Common pitfalls

• Writing the unit in plural inside a compound modifier (‘‘hundred-rupees’’).
• Missing hyphens in stacked modifiers.

Final Answera hundred-rupees note
