Correct Answer: Sumesh requested Raman to lend him some money as he needed it urgently.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The steps for conversion are as follows:

  • The pronoun "me" (first person) is changed to "him" (third person).
  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "requested" in the imperative sentence.
  • The infinitive form i.e. "to + base form of the verb" is used in the case of the imperative sentence.

Therefore, the sentence in the reported speech is: "Sumesh requested Raman to lend him some money as he needed it urgently."
