Answer

The reported speech of Gita's statement "This is my book" would be: Gita said that it was her book. In reported speech, we usually need to change the verb tense and pronouns according to the context. In this case, the verb "is" changes to "was" to reflect that the statement was made in the past. Additionally, the pronoun "this" changes to "that" to reflect the change in perspective from the speaker.

Answer

See when we change Direct speech to indirect speech we have to convert it into past tense as it was said earlier by someone...now the third person is saying that geeta said that.. which means geeta told this as earlier to 2nd person..here is converted into past tense hope you get it..
