Hi,
I mentioned in the bracket as "This is correct" means I am sure
the sentence is grammatically correct. If it is "Is this wrong?" means
I don't know whether the sentence is grammatically correct or not. The
doubt all I have is can I use whom instead of who i the given
questions? Please correct my English.
Best Regards
Mariappan
