• Assume there are x participants in the race.
  participants in front of a person wil b x-1 and
  that behind him wil b x-1.
  so
  1/5(x-1) + 5/6(x-1) = x
  we get,
  x=31

• let total participents =x
  x/5+5*x/6+1=x
  31x+30=30x
  x=30 answer

• Assume there are x participants in the race.In a round race,no: of
  participants in front of a person wil b x-1 an that behind him wil b
  x-1. i.e, 1/5(x-1) + 5/6(x-1) = x ; solving x = 31
