Model Answer

Ritu asked Randeep where he was going.

Explanation

In reported speech, the question word (where) is retained, the helping verb (are) is removed, word order changes to subject + verb (he was going), and the pronoun 'you' changes to 'he'. Present continuous 'are going' becomes past continuous 'was going' (tense backshift).

If a question refers to an image, map, graph or diagram that is not shown here, open the Study Guide single page app, go to Library and find the actual CBSE question paper. The original papers are also available on the CBSE website: cbse.gov.in.
