<h2>The distance between students is 2.46 m</h2>

Explanation:

The force of attraction due to Newton's gravitation law is

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Here G is the gravitational constant

m₁ is the mass of one student

m₂ is the mass of second student .

and r is the distance between them

Thus r = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }

If we substitute the values in the above equation

r = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^-^1^1x31.9x30.0}{2.59x10^-^8} }

= 2.46 m
