We know that : 

Graph 1 & 2

F1

(Roses/Lilies)

F2

(Dahlias)

F3

(Orchids)

F4

(Lilies/Roses)

TOTAL

WB1

(Jalpaiguri)

3 5 3 2 13

WB2

(24-Parganas)

1 3 2 5 11

WB3

(Midnapore)

4 2 4 1 11

WB4

(Nadia)

2 4 1 2 9
TOTAL 10 14 10 10 44

For Jalpaiguri, we can be sure of the number of participants in Dahlias and Orchids, but not for Roses or Lilies

For 24-Parganas, we can be sure of the number of participants in Dahlias and Orchids, but not for Roses or Lilies

For Midnapore, we can be sure of the number of participants in Dahlias and Orchids, but not for Roses or Lilies

But, for Nadia, we can be sure of the number of participants in Dahlias, Orchids, Roses as well as Lilies

Hence for only 1 district of West Bengal the number of participants of the Agri-Horticulture Flower Show held in Alipore, Kolkata, in all the four categories of flowers could get uniquely determined
