The correct answer is A. Farhan asked Geeta whether she could lend him a hundred rupees until tomorrow.
The sentence “Farhan asked Geeta, “Could you lend me a hundred rupees until tomorrow ?”” is a direct question. In a direct question, the subject and verb are inverted. The subject is “Farhan” and the verb is “asked”. The direct object is “Geeta”. The indirect object is “me”. The object of the preposition “until” is “tomorrow”.
The sentence can be paraphrased as follows:
- Farhan asked Geeta if she could lend him a hundred rupees until tomorrow.
- Farhan asked Geeta to lend him a hundred rupees until tomorrow.
- Farhan requested Geeta to lend him a hundred rupees until tomorrow.
Option B is incorrect because it uses the word “him” instead of “me”. The direct object of the sentence is “me”, not “him”.
Option C is incorrect because it uses the word “till” instead of “until”. The word “till” is a preposition that means “until”. However, in this sentence, the word “until” is a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb “lend”.
Option D is incorrect because it uses the word “I” instead of “me”. The indirect object of the sentence is “me”, not “I”.
