Ravi said to me, “Do you know the house of your family doctor?”
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Ravi asked me if I knew the house of my family doctor.

In Indirect speech: We report the content of another's words without directly quoting it. Since you are repeating something said in the past, it has to be in simple past tense. 

Given sentence: Ravi said to me, “Do you know the house of your family doctor?”

So the sentence becomes: Ravi asked me if I knew the house of my family doctor.

Hence, Ravi asked me if I knew the house of my family doctor is the correct answer.
