Correct Answer: he was studying


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The underlined segment in the sentence is "he is studying," which is incorrect because the tense is not consistent with the sentence. The sentence should be in the past tense, as it describes an action that continued in the past.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Swami learned music when he was studying in the third class."
