This question was previously asked in
SSC JHT Paper 1 2025 Question Paper (12-Aug-2025)
The correct answer is
I asked him whether his sister knew French.

The correct answer is I asked him whether his sister knew French.

'told' is used for statements. Tense: 'knew' is correct, but the reporting verb makes the whole sentence incorrect. This option violates rule 1. Based on the rules of indirect speech conversion for questions, Option 2 is the only one that correctly applies the changes in the reporting verb, conjunction, pronoun, and tense.
