Answer 2

Ram said to him, "Are you going to school?"

First of all it is a question which will be answered by saying , $\bf{yes}$ or $\bf{no}$

so, while changing it to indirect speech we add $\bf{if / whether }$

so,
$\bf{Ram\: \: asked\: \: him \: \:if \: \:he\: \: was\: \: going \: \:to \: \:school. }$
