    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.

    Then, x - 10 = y + 10      x - y = 20 .... (i)

         and x + 20 = 2(y - 20)      x - 2y = -60 .... (ii)

    Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.

     The required answer A = 100.
