He asked me why I had not come to school the previous day. -This is the answer.

Explanation:

  • The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.  
  • When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
  • The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
  • Here it is already in simple past. So it must be changed into past perfect tense. So 'did not come' becomes 'had not come'.
  • The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. 'You' must be changed into 'I'.
  • The given sentences are interrogative. So the question mark must be removed in reported speech.  We must used 'asked' because it is a question.
  • 'Yesterday' becomes 'the previous day'.
  • Hence the answer is: He asked me why I had not come to school the previous day.
