SR.NO--> 1-->Hobbby Related to Music--> VIOLIN-->Percentage or Number of--> Women:276; Men:21%; Children:198;

SR.NO--> 2-->Hobbby Related to Music-->SITAR-->Percentage or Number of -->Women:318;Men:332; Children:35%;

violin >men 21%=(100-21)%=79% of x(take total no be x)
(79*x)/100=474(sum of children and women)
total in case of violin=600
men in case of violin=(600-474)=126
like this u can convert all the percentage into real value and then easily solve the question
