We can never write '-in-laws' because adding 's' in the suffix(in-law) is wrong. However, we write daughter-in-law for a single female and daughters-in-law for more than two females. Similarly, the given sentence talks about two daughters-in-law.

Hence, 'daughters-in-law' is the most appropriate structure.

"Since" is used to denote a point of time and for depicting an activity that is happening from a long time like since time immemorial/since ancient times. "For" is used for a fixed period of time(countable) like 2 years/3 months/4 days/8 hours and for an activity that happened in a recent time. However, in the given question, we can count the working hours.

Hence, for hours will be the correct sentence structure.

If an interrogative sentence (in which a question is asked) is written in the indirect form(speech), then it is incorrect to write 'asked' and 'that' together. However, in this type of sentence, the Subject follows the reporting verb(asked), and 'If/Whether' follows the Subject.

Hence, 'asked (reporting verb) me whether I had seen' is the most appropriate answer.
