​

Answer 1

Mohan said that he was playing the guitar then.

Answer 2

Mohan said that he was playing the guitar then. -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.
• 'Mohan said' becomes 'Mohan said that' in  indirect speech.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly.
• 'Am playing' becomes 'he was playing'.
• 'Now' becomes 'then'.
• Hence the answer is: Mohan said that he was playing the guitar then.
