The given sentences in the reported speech will be 1) Dev told Rahul to go to bed and not get up until he is called. 2) Dev told Rahul to not wipe his dirty fingers on his clean table cloth. 3) Dev told Rahul that he is going to the countryside with his brother.

Explanation:

• Generally, when a sentence must be converted to reported speech, the speaker and the listener must be specified. Since in the given sentences the speaker and listener are not specified, they are assumed to be Dev and Rahul respectively.
• In the sentence, most importantly, the pronouns I, my, you and you're are either omitted or changed to he, him and his to change the sentence into reported speech.
• The purpose of reported speech is to report a dialogue as it was said from the third person narrative perspective.
