The difference bewteen adults and children before 56 adults and 56 children left the hall was the same as the difference after they left.
Before
5:7 = 15:21
Difference of 21-15 = 6 units
After
7:13
Difference of 13-7=6 units
So 15-7 or 21-13 yields 8 units
8 units = 56
1 unit = 7
Number of children at first
= 21 × 7 - 84
= 63
