Default Re: Fill with pronoun

"hers"


What other options could there be? What you have already is the only suitable solution in terms of the first sentence.

If you insist...
Saloni wants to buy a pack of crayons.
She has given hers to Rahul.


If Saloni is a boy/man, then this version is more accurate:
Saloni wants to buy a pack of crayons.
He has given his to Rahul.


In either case, you could also say:
Saloni wants to buy a pack of crayons.
She/He has given it (= the pack of crayons) to Rahul.

or
She/He has given them (= the crayons) to Rahul.
