Correct answer: B

Step 1: Identify the number of people who speak only one language. - 10 people speak only Bengali. - 5 people speak only Assamese. - Total people speaking only one language = 10 + 5 = 15.

Step 2: Subtract the number of people speaking only one language from the total number of people to find those speaking more than one language. - Total people = 60. - People speaking more than one language = 60 - 15 = 45.

Therefore, 45 people speak more than one language.

हिन्दी उत्तर: चरण 1: केवल एक भाषा बोलने वाले लोगों की संख्या ज्ञात करें। - 10 लोग केवल बंगाली बोलते हैं। - 5 लोग केवल असमिया बोलते हैं। - केवल एक भाषा बोलने वाले कुल लोग = 10 + 5 = 15।

चरण 2: कुल लोगों से एक भाषा बोलने वाले लोगों की संख्या को घटाकर दो या अधिक भाषाएँ बोलने वाले लोगों की संख्या ज्ञात करें। - कुल लोग = 60। - दो या अधिक भाषाएँ बोलने वाले लोग = 60 - 15 = 45।

इसलिए, 45 लोग एक से अधिक भाषाएँ बोलते हैं।
