C. Manna asked Rohan if he sat on a trolley bus before.
D. Manna asked Rohan if he has ever sat in a trolley bus.
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
In direct speech, the question is: "Have you sat in a trolley bus before?"To convert it into indirect speech, we use the reporting verb "asked" followed by the reporting clause "if" or "whether" and the appropriate tense. In this case, the tense remains the same as the original question, so "have" becomes "has" in the indirect speech because it's referring to the present perfect tense.
Therefore, the correct conversion is: "Manna asked Rohan if he has ever sat in a trolley bus."

In this question, why we doesn't use "If". It is a Interrogative sentence. and It can be answer in Yes/No format. Please explain
in this sentence the part of speech is in interrogative mode and also started with "have", so according to the rule when we changed the sentence into indirect speech than we replaced the helping verb and we used "if/whether" instead of is/am/are/has/have/etc. and after it we right the sentence in assertive mode.
