Since it is given that zero students did first and second exercise. The second exercise will have only two parts which contain those students who did only second exercise and who did only second and third exercise. Zero students did all 3 exercise.

Let the students who did only second exercise be p and the total students who did third exercise be q. The students who only did first exercise be r.

We have

r+q=65 (1)

p+q=61 (2)

r+p+q=97 (3)

From these 3 equations we have q= 29.
