i guess the answer to this is : 4

1/3 were infront of u ...... (1/3)x

and 3/4 of them .......here this means (3/4) of (1/3) ....... (1/3)(3/4)x (1/4)x

(the reason to think like this is because if we take out 1/3 people then the remaining people r 2/3 which is less than 3/4 hence i took 3/4 of 1/3)

that is (3/4)x people were in merry go round......

that is least could be x 4

hence the least mumber of people are (3/4)x4 3 ........... and taking her into consideration it becomes 3+1 4 ........

well this is what i think is the solution ....

i guess the answer to this is : 4

let x be the total no of people xcluding the person mentioned above.

1/3 were infront of u ...... (1/3)x

and 3/4 of them .......here this means (3/4) of (1/3) ....... (1/3)(3/4)x (1/4)x

(the reason to think like this is because if we take out 1/3 people then the remaining people r 2/3 which is less than 3/4 hence i took 3/4 of 1/3)

(1/3)x+(1/4)x (7/12)x

so totally there r (7/12)x+1 people in tne merry go round

min value of x is 12

hence answer is 13

merry go round is circular so its not possible for x no. of ppl to be ahead of u or to be behind since all r sitting in a circle..so determining the no. of ppl on a merry go round is not possible...
