Rahul took part in a cycling game with many others in a circular closed circuit. After pedaling for several minutes, he found that 1/5th of the cyclists ahead of him and 5/6th of the cyclists behind him together formed the total no. of participants. How many were participating in the race?

Read Solution (Total 1)

As its a circular track----
so the cyclist behind him is = cyclist in front of him
so, let total number of cyclist =x
(x-1)/5 + 5(x-1)/6=x
31(x-1)/30=x
x=31
