The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:
Meena's mother asked her whether she would assist her to pack their belongings.
The other options are incorrect because they do not follow these rules:
- Meena's mother asked her whether she will assist her to pack their belongings. - This sentence does not change the present tense to the past tense for the auxiliary verb "will."
- Meena's mother asked her whether if she would assist her to pack their belongings. - This sentence is redundant because the word "if" is already used.
- Meena's mother asked her whether she can assist her to pack their belongings. - This sentence changes the auxiliary verb "will" to "can," which is incorrect.
