Model Answer
...he wanted a reference book for Physics which he could use for his project work.
Explanation
In reported speech, the reported clause shifts pronouns ("I" → "he") and tense/auxiliary ("can" → "could"). The blank completes Ramesh's reply in indirect speech after "that," so no question form is used — it becomes a statement.
