Question

Change any one of the following into indirect narration:
(ii) Narendra said to Pooja, "Are you qualified for the post you applied?"

Hint:

When converting questions into indirect speech, make sure to adjust the verb tense and use 'if' or 'whether' for yes/no questions.

Answer 1

Step 1: Identify the direct speech.
The direct speech here is: "Are you qualified for the post you applied?"

Step 2: Conversion to indirect speech.
When converting to indirect speech, we need to change the reporting verb (here, "said to" becomes "asked"), adjust the pronouns, and modify the question format. Also, "Are" is changed to "was" as the question is in past tense in indirect speech.

Step 3: Final Conversion.
Thus, the correct indirect narration is: "Narendra asked Pooja if she was qualified for the post she had applied for."

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Narendra asked Pooja if she was qualified for the post she had applied for.}} \]
