A cyclist is cycling in a circular path.he is at some point on the path,at that point 1/5th of the cyclists infront of him and 5/6th back to him gives the total number of clyclists participating in the race. What is the total number of cyclists?

Re: What is the total number of cyclists?
xplaination)
since in a circle.. the no. of people infront are equal to no. of people back...
Let no. of people infront = no. of people back = x
then,
(x/5) + (5x/6) = x + 1 (total no. of cyclist= x+ the cyclist referred)
=> 6x + 25x = 30x + 30
=> x=30
hence.. total cyclist=> 30+1 = 31
