- ARahul asked his teacher what the way to solve the question was.
- BRahul told his teacher what was the way to solve the question.
- CRahul asked to his teacher what the way was to solve the question.
- DRahul told his teacher what the way was to solve the question.
Explanation
The indirect question is 'Rahul asked his teacher what the way to solve the question was' — option A. Option C's 'asked to his teacher' is ungrammatical; B and D wrongly use 'told' for a question. Note: the stored source key marked C, but grammar confirms A, so the key is corrected here.
