we know if total who passed written were x then those who also passed practical are 0.7x (those who passed written and didn't pass practical are 0.3x
stmnt 1 says give total students. (insuff)
stmnt 2 gives if total who pass pract are y then those who failed written and passed pract are 0.2y and those who passed practical and passed written are 0.8y. still insufficient
combining. we can solve for x and y.
