    Solution

    In indirect speech, the speaker reports what someone else said without quoting their exact words. In this case, the original sentence is in direct speech: "I said to Mohan, 'He has a green book.'" To convert this into indirect speech, we need to change the pronouns and verb tenses to match the reporting context.
