Model Answer

Mona asked Tina which was the shortest route to reach the museum.

Explanation

In reported speech, the direct question changes: "Which is..." becomes "which was..." (tense shifts back), and the question mark is removed. The reporting verb "asked" introduces the indirect question without using "if/whether" since it is a wh-question.

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.
