She said, 'Ravi is going on a business trip this weekend.'

• A. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> She said that Ravi was going on a business trip this weekend.
• B. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> She said that Ravi is going on a business trip this weekend.

Answer 1

The correct option is A <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> She said that Ravi was going on a business trip this weekend.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Here, the reporting verb 'said' is in the simple past tense, so the verb 'is going' changes to 'was going' in the past continuous tense in reported speech.
