sir but if we consider that number of students in A is coming up as a decimal !  A= 2/3 B   . IF B IS 70  then A would be 46.66 
same thing to number of students in C . it  comes out as  58.3 !
which is not possible in real life
this stopped me yesterday from solving the problem !
so when we are doing sum how can we be sure that i am doing right as decimals are showing up as answers to  number of students ( should be whole numbers in reality )
please clarify .
thank you

If these numbers are coming in decimal numbers then you can leave them as a fraction for calculation and for finding numbers in the A and B section, you can round off to the nearest value.
