It has been solved and explained by KD Live Experts under the guidance of Neetu Mam and they have tried to elaborate the concept used in Narration Questions.</p><h2 id="content-id-0487193256-3"><b>Question On Narration </b></h2>One of the four alternative suggested, select the one which best express the same sentence in indirect speech:
I said to him, "why are you working so hard"?
<div class="row show--dificulty--bar" style="margin-top:8px;"><div class="col-sm-6 show--dificulty--bar" style="display:inline-flex !important;border-right:0.1px solid #eee;"><h3 style="font-size:12px !important;">Difficulty : Moderate </h3></div><div class="col-sm-6 show--dificulty--bar" style="display:inline-flex;"><h3 style="font-size:12px !important;"> Average Time : 35 Seconds </h3></div></div><h2 id="content-id-5107924683-4"><b> Narration Questions Options</b></h2><ol><li><p>I asked him why he was working so hard.</p>
</li><li><p>I asked him why was he working so hard.</p>
</li><li><p>I asked him why he had been working so hard.</p>
</li><li><p>I asked him why had he been working so hard </p>
</li></ol> <h2 id="content-id-2874069315-5"><b> Narration Questions Solution</b></h2><p>The correct answer is <strong>option 1 i.e. <em>I asked him why he was working so hard.</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>Context:</strong> The given sentence is an <strong>interrogative sentence (Wh-question)</strong> in direct speech. While changing it into indirect speech, the reporting verb changes to <strong>asked</strong>, the question form changes into a <strong>statement</strong>, and the tense changes according to the rules of reported speech.</p>

<p><strong>Rule:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Said to</strong> → <strong>asked</strong> (for questions)</li>
	<li>Remove the inverted commas.</li>
	<li>Use the conjunction <strong>why</strong> (no additional conjunction is needed).</li>
	<li>Change the interrogative word order (<strong>auxiliary + subject</strong>) to <strong>statement word order (subject + verb)</strong>.</li>
	<li>Since the reporting verb is in the <strong>past tense (said)</strong>, the <strong>present continuous</strong> (<strong>are working</strong>) changes to the <strong>past continuous</strong> (<strong>was working</strong>).</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Final Sentence:</strong><br>
<em>I asked him why he was working so hard.</em></p>

<p>Hence, the chosen option is correct.</p>
