Let the number of rows be x
Number of students in 1 row = y
According to the question,
(y + 3) (x - 1) = xy xy + 3x - y - 3 = xy
Or 3x - y = 3 ...(1)
(y - 3) (x + 2) = xy xy - 3x + 2y - 6 = xy
Or -3x + 2y = 6 ...(2)
Adding (1) and (2), we get,
y = 9
3x - 9 = 3 x = 4
Number of students = xy = 4 9 = 36 .
