interface eth0

static ip_address=192.168.0.10
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

interface wlan0

static ip_address=192.168.0.200
static routers=192.168.0.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.0.1

    3)Adding multiple wireless network details to the Raspberry Pi:

On recent versions of Raspbian, it is possible to set up multiple configurations for wireless networking.

    a) you could set up one for home and one for office.
Command: 
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Copy this code on the editor:

network={
    ssid="SchoolNetworkSSID"
    psk="passwordSchool"

    b) If you have two networks in range, you can add the priority option to choose between them. The network in range, with the highest priority, will be the one that is connected.
Command: 
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Copy this code on the editor:

network={
    ssid="Firstusername"
    psk="passwordOne"
    priority=1
    id_str="officeOne"
}

network={
