Answer #1

In the merge function, if i is used to index left sub-array and j for right sub-array, at any step in merge(), if a[i] is greater than a[j], then there are (mid – i) inversions. This is because left and right sub-arrays are sorted, so all the remaining elements in left-sub-array will be greater than a[j]

Note:

Due to the unavailability of a desktop at the moment I had to write this code by hand, and not type it. However, this is a 100% working solution of inversion count written in python3 and I'm sure this will help you out. Thanks !
