Answers are given below.

Explanation:

(i) It is not clear who has done it. [Noun clause]

Here "Who has done it", is the noun clause. It is working as an object here.

(ii) "I'm glad to hear it", Mrs. Bethy said. [ Subject clause]

In this sentence, is the subject clause and it is working as the subject.

(iii) Can you tell me who wrote 'The Ramayan'? [ Noun clause]
