Explanation:
Indirect speech is also known as Reported Speech.
It reports what has been said by using the third person reported narration.
If the tense used in direct speech is in the past tense in the reported speech it is changed into past perfect.
Direct relative pronouns and adverbs are changed into their indirect counterparts.
For example 'this' changes to 'that', 'Now' changes to 'then'.
In the given sentences which are in the direct speech the tense used is simple past. Hence in indirect speech the tense used is past perfect - Seetha asked Geetha from where she had bought that new dress.
Geetha replied that she had bought it in her cousin's shop.
There are no reporting verbs in the direct speech as it is in the form of a conversation so reporting verbs are added.
Since Seetha asks a question the reporting verb is 'asked'.
Geetha answers so the reporting verb is replied.
The pronoun 'this' changes to 'that' and 'my' changes to 'her'.
