    I found something wrong with the solution... There is 50% and 70% boys and girls who cleared the examination, ( š™£š™¤š™©š™š: means who š™˜š™”š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™ š™¤š™£š™”š™® š™£š™¤š™© š™©š™š™¤š™Øš™š š™¬š™š™¤ š™–š™„š™„š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™) (and later), total percent of student š™¬š™š™¤ qualify the examination is 60% (š™£š™¤š™©š™š: "qualifying š™Øš™©š™Ŗš™™š™šš™£š™©" again not including "non qualifying š™Øš™©š™Ŗš™™š™šš™£š™©' which is 40% where both boys and girls are included) then later find out nš™Ŗš™¢š™—š™šš™§ of girls appeared in exam (š™£š™¤š™©š™š: it means we have to find total no. Of girls thats it in which both qualified and non qualified is included) š™Øš™¤ š™Øš™¤š™”š™Ŗš™©š™žš™¤š™£ š™žš™Ø š™£š™¤š™© š™˜š™¤š™§š™§š™šš™˜š™© š™—š™šš™˜š™–š™Ŗš™Øš™š š™®š™¤š™Ŗ š™š™–š™™ š™›š™žš™£š™™ š™¤š™Ŗš™© š™¤š™£š™”š™® š™£š™Ŗš™¢š™—š™šš™§š™Ø š™¤š™› š™œš™žš™§š™”š™Ø š™¬š™š™¤ š™˜š™”š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™.... š™’š™š™–š™©š™Ø š™–š™—š™¤š™Ŗš™© š™£š™¤š™© š™˜š™”š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™... š˜¾š™¤š™Æ š™¦š™Ŗš™šš™Øš™©š™žš™¤š™£ š™žš™Ø š™–š™„š™„š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™( š™žš™£ š™¬š™š™žš™˜š™ š™—š™¤š™©š™ š™˜š™”š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™ š™–š™£š™™ š™£š™¤š™© š™˜š™”š™šš™–š™§š™šš™™ š™žš™£š™˜š™”š™Ŗš™™š™šš™™)
