1. To find the number of students who like to study English, we need to multiply the total number of students by the fraction 1/6:
Number of students who like to study English = (1/6) * 48 = 8 students.
2. To find the number of students who like to study Malayalam, we need to multiply the total number of students by the fraction 3/6:
Number of students who like to study Malayalam = (3/6) * 48 = 24 students.
3. To find the number of students who like to study Hindi, we need to subtract the sum of students who like English and Malayalam from the total number of students:
Number of students who like to study Hindi = 48 - (8 + 24) = 48 - 32 = 16 students.
Therefore, the answers to the questions are:
1. There are 8 students who like to study English.
2. There are 24 students who like to study Malayalam.
3. There are 16 students who like to study Hindi.
