Key Points

  • The indirect speech is formed by changing the tense of the verb, the pronouns, and the time expressions.
  • In the given sentence, the direct speech is in the present continuous tense ("I am going").
  • When changing to indirect speech, the present continuous tense changes to the past continuous tense ("she was going").
  • The time expression "next month" changes to "the following month".

Hence, the correct statement is 'Rani informed her boss that she was going to visit Kashmir and Ladakh the following month'.
