To solve this problem, we can use the formula:

Total = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A and B) - n(A and C) - n(B and C) + n(A and B and C)

where:

n(A) = number of people who liked Nepali

n(B) = number of people who liked English

n(C) = number of people who liked Hindi

n(A and B) = number of people who liked both Nepali and English

n(A and C) = number of people who liked both Nepali and Hindi

n(B and C) = number of people who liked both English and Hindi

n(A and B and C) = number of people who liked all three languages

From the given information in the problem, we have:

n(A) = 50

n(B) = 40

n(C) = 30

n(A and B) = 11

n(A and C) = 19

n(B and C) = 13

n(A and B and C) = 6

We can now substitute these values into the formula:

Total = 50 + 40 + 30 - 11 - 19 - 13 + 6

Total = 73

ANSWER: Therefore, there were a total of 73 people who liked at least one of the three languages.
