Which of the following sentences is correct Indirect Speech of the following sentence?
She said to me, "Where are you going to deposit this amount?"
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
In indirect speech, the reporting verb becomes 'asked', the present continuous 'are going' backshifts to 'was going', and 'this' changes to 'that'. Option 3 is the only one applying the correct tense change, so it is the answer.
Note: Standard indirect order would be 'where I was going'; no option uses it, so we picked the option with the correct backshifted tense as intended.
