what is the right option for the foll line?

Question

My parents gave me a tuition check _______ Rs 1,500.
Is it 'of' or 'for'? and why?

Answer 1

"My parents gave me a tuition check FOR THE AMOUNT OF Rs1500."
This would actually be the correct way of saying it. In this instance both FOR & OF are prepositions. It would be correct to say "I was given a bill FOR having my house painted." - It's a reason for giving you the bill, or the check. The OF refers to the amount written ON the check. If it tells you 'where', it's a preposition.

Answer 2

For

Answer 3

of - explains amount

for - purpose of check
