The events  "Entering school through the main door" and "Leaving by main door" are independent.  Outcome of second event does not depend on outcome of 1st event.
Label them  event A and B.    P(A) = 3/4      P(B) = 1/3
So P(B / A )  =  P (A) * P(B)         as P(A intersection B) is 0.

Answer is 3/4  *  1/3  = 1/4
