it must be "one of the most helpful person"

one of the most points to a particular individual...so it must be person not people as people refers to a group.

any comments...? :?:

"one of the most helpful people" is just fine.

"one of the most helpful persons"

we are good as long as we use one of the X, where X is plural. so people and persons is fine
