Direct speech: Rohan said, 'Water is tasteless, colourless and odourless.'
Reported speech: Rohan said that water __________, colourless and odourless.

Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The option ‘is tasteless’ is correct because water being tasteless, colourless, and odourless is a fact that doesn't change with time, place, or speaker. Hence, it is reported in the present tense.
