There was a cycle race going on. 1/5th of the those in front of a person and 5/6th of those behind him gives the total number of participants. How many people took part in the race?

• let total =x
  1/5*(x-1)+5/6(x-1)=x by solving this we will get 31

• Let total participants be x+1 then
  (1/5)*x+(5/6)*x=x+1
  31x/30=x+1
  x=30
  So total participants (x+1)=31
