Change the following sentence from Direct Speech to Indirect Speech.
The youngman said to his parents, “You will have to adjust to the changing times.”

Correct option is C

Correct indirect speech: (c) The youngman told his parents that they would have to adjust to the changing times.
Important changes (highlight):
• “said to” → told (reporting verb for “said to”)
• “You” (parents) → they (pronoun changes according to listener)
• “will have to” → would have to (backshift because reporting verb is past)
Grammatical Rule (English):
• said to + person → told + person
• Past reporting verb ⇒ will → would
व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
• “said to” का indirect में रूप: told
• Past reporting verb होने पर will → would हो जाता है और pronoun श्रोता/वक्ता के अनुसार बदलता है।
Why other options are incorrect:
• (a) structure बहुत awkward/unnatural है (हालाँकि भाव मिलता-जुलता है), standard नहीं।
• (b) must अर्थ बदल देता है (compulsion/ आदेश), original “have to” का tense shift नहीं दिखता।
• (d) “you” parents के लिए है, इसलिए “he” गलत है।
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
