Question:

Fill in the following sentence with an appropriate article.

Mohan has ________ one-rupee note.

Options:

an

the

a

None of the above

Correct Answer:

a

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - a

The correct answer is: "a" → Mohan has a one-rupee note.

  • The article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
  • Although "one" starts with the letter "O" (a vowel), it is pronounced as "won", which begins with a consonant sound (w sound).
  • Therefore, we use "a" instead of "an" (which is used before vowel sounds).

OTHER OPTIONS

  • "An"  → Incorrect because "one" sounds like "won," which starts with a consonant sound.
  • "The" → "The" is used when referring to something specific, but here, we are mentioning a general one-rupee note.
  • "None of the above"  → Incorrect because "a" is the right choice.
