But we use rupees for example : I have seven 10 rupees note right.

Here, the answer is no error (d) because here hyphen is not added between ten and rupee to form a compound word. Ex- Numeral Adj. +plural Noun.

It might be "I have seven 10 rupee notes".
It might be "I have seven 10 rupee notes".

Based on the context, we can use both.
Example:.
I have got 100 rupees. (Meaning that the notes can be of any denomination).
I have got a 100 rupee note. (meaning that the denomination of the note is 50 rupees).
When it is used to imply currency, then we use rupee.

In the clause, "A ten rupee note will not buy you even an ordinary meal. "I don't think that the word 'even' should be there but before the word 'buy' making the sentence "a ten rupee note will not even buy you an ordinary meal. ".
Or it could be after the word inflation such as "In these days of inflation, even a ten rupee note will not buy you an ordinary meal".

The use of "rupees" is incorrect.
The word "rupee" should not take an apostrophe-s when used adjectivally.
The correct form is "a ten-rupee note".
