Just doing like this : 1st graders (a), 2nd graders (b), 3rd graders (c), and 4th graders (d) for ease.
a/b = 3/4.
b/d = 8/5
c/d= 3/2.
a/c = ??
a/c = a/b * b/d * d/c
= 3/4 * 8/5 * 2/3
a/c = 4/5 . .
So this satisfied by a= 12, and b = 15 . .
a/b = 3/4.
b/d = 8/5
c/d= 3/2.
a/c = ??
a/c = a/b * b/d * d/c
= 3/4 * 8/5 * 2/3
a/c = 4/5 . .
So this satisfied by a= 12, and b = 15 . .

Hi,
Multiplying the ratios to get ratio of 1st graders: 3rd graders = 4:5.
This can be clearly seen for values 12:15.Hence 1st Graders = 12 & 3rd Graders = 15 out of the given set of values.
Thanks & Regards,
Prateek Sharma.
