    Question

    Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.
    Rani said to her boss, “I am going to visit Kashmir and Ladakh next month.”

    A.

    Rani informed her boss that she was going to visit Kashmir and Ladakh the following
    month.

    B.

    Rani told her boss that I am going to visit Kashmir and Ladakh next month.

    C.

    Rani informs her boss that she is going to visit Kashmir and Ladakh the next month.

    D.

    Rani asked her boss that she wanted to visit Kashmir and Ladakh the following
    month.

    Correct option is A

    The correct indirect form is (a) "Rani informed her boss that she was going to visit Kashmir and Ladakh the following month." This maintains the correct tense and pronoun shift.
    Rules for converting direct speech to indirect speech-
    · When the reporting verb of direct speech is in past tense then all the present tenses are changed to the corresponding past tense in indirect speech. 
    · Reporting verbs such as ‘said/ said to’ changes to said, told, informed as per the context of the sentence.
    · Comma inverted comma will be replaced with conjunction “That”.
    · The  first person in direct speech  changes as per the subject of the speech.
    · The  second person of direct speech  changes as per the object of reporting speech.
    · The  third person of direct speech  doesn’t change.
