Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The sentence can be improved by using the second option.

"Will have reached" is the verb form of the future perfect tense which should be used here. The future perfect tense is used for actions that are assumed to be complete by a certain point in time in the future.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "My parents will have reached Delhi by Monday next".
