40 % are 3rd Year Students . Hence 60% are not 3rd year students - I

70% are not 2nd year students. Hence 30% are 2nd Year students - II

Now the problems asks for What fraction of students who are not
third-year students are second-year students?

Hence it is II / I = 60/30 = 1/2

How you got 60/30=1/2.
60/30=2
