Answer. 60 students, 5 students in row, 12 rows.

But the formulation is terrible.

It should be like this:

   Students of the class are standing in rows. 
   Had each row has one more student, it would be in 2 rows less. 
   Had each row has one student less, it would be in 3 rows more. 
   Find the number of students in the class.
