Correct Answer: Akash said that Mahesh had gone home.

When converting from Direct to Indirect speech, all present tenses are converted into past tense. ‘Said then’ is incorrect as direct to indirect conversions use either ‘said that’ or ‘told’, in the absence of an exclamation. Considering the given rules, Sentence 4 is the correct option.
