This line tells us that only people whose position is 2 more then a multiple of 3 will call out the number 2. Since there are just nicely 300 people in the role, if the people are asked to shout "1,2,3,1,2,3,...." from the right instead, the people calling out the number "2" will be the same people.

Hence, rephrasing the question, how many numbers from 0 to 300, is 2 more than a common multiple of 3 and 4?

Hence.....
LCM of 3 and 4 = 12
Number of multiples of 12 from 0 to 300 = 300 / 12
= 25 (NOTE: 300 is the 25th multiple)
Hence,
number of people who call out "2" twice = 1 + 25 - 1
= 25.

The second line tells us that only people whose position is 2 more then a multiple of 3 will call out the number 2. Since there are just nicely 300 people in the role, if the people are asked to shout "1,2,3,1,2,3,...." from the right instead, the people calling out the number "2" will be the same people.
The third line tells us that only people who are in a position that is 2 more than a multiple of 4 will shout the number "2".
Hence, rephrasing the question, how many numbers from 0 to 300, is 2 more than a common multiple of 3 and 4?
Hence.....
LCM of 3 and 4 = 12
Number of multiples of 12 from 0 to 300 = 300 / 12
= 25 (NOTE: 300 is the 25th multiple)
Hence,
number of people who call out "2" twice = 1 + 25 - 1
= 25.
