the number of participants in each room must be the HCF of 60, 84 and 108.
so by euclid's division lemma,
108= 84*1+24
84= 24*3+12
24=12*2
therefore, the hcf of 108 and 84 is 12.
similarly the hcf of 60 and 84 will be 12.
therefore in each room, 12 members can sit.
total number of participants= 60+84+108=252
munber of rooms required= total students/number of students in one room
= 252/12=21
therefore 21 rooms are required.

Hindi = 60 = 5 rooms contain 12 students.
English = 84 = 7 rooms contain 12 students.
Mathematics = 108 = 9 rooms contain 12 students.
Total = 252 = 21 rooms contain 12 students.
