          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: B) 10         
         
Explanation: If the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average, each one will get =1/3×1/4=112 of the whole.
 Therefore, if there are k persons other than the person who gets one-fourth, then 1/4 + k/12 = 1
 ⇒ k=9
 
 Hence, total number of people = 10.
