Correct Answer: Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me.”


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

To convert the given reported speech to direct speech, we need to maintain the original meaning while adjusting the pronouns and verb tense.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "told" is changed to "said" in direct speech.
  • The first-person pronoun "I" is changed to the second-person pronoun "you".
  • And the third-person pronoun "him" is changed to the first-person pronoun "me".
  • The simple past tense "knew" is changed to its present tense form "know".
  • The conjunction "that" is removed.
  • The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Aryan said to me, “You know where to find me."
