Explanation:

Let there are X books in the library.
Hindi books = 60% of X = 60X /100 = 0.6X
Remaining Books = X – 0.6X = 0.4X
English books = 40% of reaming books = 60% of 0.4X = 0.24X.
Malayalam Books = X-0.6X -0.24X = 0.16X
Given,
0.24X = 4800
X = 4800/0.24 = 20000
Malayalam Books = 0.16X = 0.16*20000 = 3200.
