    Explanation:

    Let x be no. of attendees.

    No. of students = x/3

    No. of female students = x/6 = (1/2) (x/3) = (1/2) no. of students

    This implies (1/2) of students are male. So,

    No of male students = (1/2) (x/3) = x/6 ... eq (1)

    No. of female attendees = 2x/3

    No of male attendees = x - (2x/3) = x/3 ... eq (2)

    Using eq (1) and eq (2)

    No of male non-student attendees = (x/3) - (x/6) = x/6 ... eq (3)

    No of male non-student attendees = 150 (Given in question) ... eq (4)

    Using eq (3) and eq (4)

    => x/6=150

    => x=150*6

    => x=900 (Answer)
