Correct Answer: When Mayank came
Solution : The second option is the correct choice.
Came is in the past tense, but we are talking about a future event, i.e., Mayank's arrival, so came should be changed to comes as per the first conditional. According to the first conditional, if the main clause is in the simple future tense, the subordinate clause should be in the simple present tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: When Mayank comes, I shall go with him to the circus.
