i got this solution .. assuming when n=1 .... 1st person will be alive when n=2 1st person will be alive , when n=3 3rd person will be alive when n=4 1st person will be alive when n=5 3rd one will be alive when n=6 5th person will be alive when n=7 7th one wil be alive when n=8 1st person will be alive ..............when n=16 1st person will be live when n=32 1st person will be alive..by this we can conclude that for n=1,2,4,8,16,32,64 the 1st person will not die... between this the odd one's will not die.. the sequence will be like between n=2 and n=4 ..3rd one will not die, same as between n=4 and n=8 3rd,5th,7th one will not die... so by filling odd no's between the values for what we getting one we can find the person who will be alive..... hence for 2 POWER n the 1st person will be alive if anything wrong in this pls correct me..!!!
