The correct sentence in indirect speech would be: He said that his mother is writing letters.
EXPLANATION:
- There are two types of speech, direct speech, and indirect speech or the reported speech.
- When a speaker is saying the sentence themselves then it is called direct speech, but when the same sentence is said by someone other than the speaker then it is called indirect or reported speech.
- In the reported speech, that is added and first-person is changed into second person, that's why in the given sentence my is changed to his, but the tense remains same.
- Hence, the correct sentence would be: He said that his mother is writing letters.
