Correct Answer: five thousands
 


Solution : The correct answer is - 'Error lies in option-(B)'

Explanation:

  • Replace 'five thousand' with 'five thousands' 
  • - When a definite numeral adjective is added before the following nouns, they take singular form.
  • - The words are: pair, score, gross, stone, hundred, dozen, thousand, million, billion, and so on. For example: She bought three dozen pencils.
  • As a result, the right sentence is - David has five thousand rupees only.
