Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. only hundreds rupee note.
- The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of Numbers.
- There are some words like- Pair, hundred, dozen, thousand, etc that are used in singular if there is any fixed number before it.
- Five hundred rupees, a five hundred rupee note. two thousand students etc.
- If there is no fixed number before it is used in the plural.
- Thousands of trees, hundreds of migrants, dozens of eggs.
- As in the wrong part of the statement, there is (only) that shows a fixed number "hundred" will be used in singular Noun.
- Hence, "Hundreds" should be replaced with "Hundred".
The correct sentence will be-
I had a hard time paying the driver as I had only hundred rupee note.
