Double the number of students of the first group added to the number in the second group gives 3, while the combined strength of first and second group is four times that of the third group. Using matrix method, find the number of students in each group. Apart from the values, hard work, honest and respect for law, vigilance and obedience, suggest one more value, which in our opinion, the school should consider for awards.
