The second part ‘Hari got there’ signifies that the sentence is in simple past. Rule: If ‘simple past’ tense is used in letter part, former part should be in ‘Past perfect tense'. |
Hence, Past Perfect form i.e. ‘had left’ should be in place of blank. Complete sentence: Raja had left the house before Hari got there. |
