Given:
Let the total guests be x.
1/3 chose beef
==> x/3
5/12 chose chicken
==> 5x/12
So total non veg guests are x/3 + 5x/12
==> ( 4 + 5 ) x/ 12
==> 9x / 12
==> 3 x/ 4
==> 3 x / 4
No of veg guests = Total guest - total non veg guests
==> x - 3x / 4
==> ( 4 x - 3x ) / 4
==> x / 4
Now given:
x / 4 = 69
==> x = 69 * 4
==> x = 276
The total number of guests was 276
Hope it helps
