Correct Answer: Radha enquired why he had not forwarded his petition to her.
Solution : The correct indirect form of the given sentence is the first option.
Explanation: In reported speech, the tense of the reporting verb often changes according to the sequence of tenses.
When the reporting verb is in the past tense, the verb tenses in the reported speech also shift to the past.
In this case, "said" is changed to "enquired", and the simple past "didn't" becomes the past perfect "had not". Additionally, the object pronoun "me" changes to "her" because Radha is referring to herself in the third person.
So, the correct sentence would be: "Radha enquired why he had not forwarded his petition to her."
