This excercises seems to be based on momentum of impulse of conservation law

Answer 0,70 rad/s

Use conservation of angular momentum, about the central pivot of the platform.

Angular momentum of the platform is $|I \omega|=|m\, v\, r|$ , where $m$ is the mass of the man $v$ his speed, $r$ the radius of the platform $I$ the moment of inertia of the platform and $\omega$ the angular velocity of the platform (the platform rotates in the opposite direction to that in which the man walks.
