The indirect form is: Anu asked whether she might go out.
About indirect/ reported speech:
- The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
- When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed. Here it is the form of dialogue. So colon must be removed.
- The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form. The past tense of 'may' is 'might'.
- The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. The speaker is Anu, so 'I' becomes 'she' in reported form.
- The given sentences are interrogative and so we must remove the question mark use 'asked' instead of the comma before the quotation mark.
- As we are changing question form to indirect form of speech, the noun will precede the verb. So 'may I go' becomes 'she might go'.
- Hence the right answer is: Anu asked whether she might go out.
