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=1/12 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.

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
