Choose the appropriate option of Indirect sentence for the sentence given below:-

He said, "I shall be there with Sudha soon."

A. He said that he will be there with Sudha soon.
B. He informed that he would be there with Sudha soon.
C. He said that Sudha would be there with him soon.
D. He said that he had been with Sudha soon.

Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

B only

The correct answer is Option (3) - B only

The given direct speech sentence is:
"He said, 'I shall be there with Sudha soon.'"

Step 1: Change of Tense

• The reporting verb "said" remains the same.
• "Shall" changes to "would" in indirect speech.

Step 2: Checking the Options

• (A) He said that he will be there with Sudha soon.  (Incorrect because "shall" should change to "would," but "will" is used instead.)
• (B) He informed that he would be there with Sudha soon.  (Correct because "shall" correctly changes to "would," and "informed" is an appropriate reporting verb here.)
• (C) He said that Sudha would be there with him soon.  (Incorrect because it changes the subject and meaning of the sentence.)
• (D) He said that he had been with Sudha soon.  (Incorrect because "had been" is incorrect tense usage for the context of "shall be.")

Thus, the most appropriate option is B only.
