"Who one" - does it exist?
If someone talks about things, places etc we can ask him a question: "which one?"
for example:
- I saw his car!
- Which one? He's got two cars.
And my question is what if we talk about people. Does something like "who one" exist? For example:
- I met Helen's brother yesterday
- Who one? Jake or Mike?
Is this form correct? If not, what should we put there?

as I know, who one does't exist. Which one would be good in this situation
Your question shows quite a deep logical thought.
In this case 'which' and 'who' are not symmetrical.
You just ask /who ?/.
Forms like /who is the one to answer aaa234's question ?/ are anyway allowed.
