This is wrong. The next one is correct.

Kochira wa hito ga nan nin imasu ka?
こちらはひとが何人いますか？
This is correct.


Kochira wa hito ga ikutsu imasu?

Ikutusu usually means age when used with people.

I would say:
ここ　は　なん　にん　いますか？

ここにはなんにんいますか？
(koko niwa nan-nin imasu ka?)
or
こちらにはひとがなんにんいますか？
(kochira niwa hito ga nan-nin imasu ka?)

these are more appropriate.

niwa ?? what does it mean

に＝particle.

aaaa!! That

Metalworks should've written ni and wa seperatly .. couldn't 1st understund.

Also, these are the most correct. Although I think you can drop some particles.
