Answer:

• Ritika asked Vaibhav that how far is the river from the cottage.

Answer 2

After converting it to reported speech, it becomes- "Ritika asked Vaibhav how the river was from the cottage."

• Here, the quotation marks are removed as it is converted to reported speech.
• The verb 'is' is changed to 'was' as it is in the past tense.
• The order of words, tenses and pronouns get changed in reported speech.
• Only past perfect tense remains the same.
• Another example of reported speech is- "He asked me how I had done a good result in secondary examination."
