Answer:


(1)/(6)

Explanation:

There are "6" people in total.

They can come at any place and at any time. All of them have equal chances of arriving at any place.

Similarly,

Everyone has the same chances of coming first.

Hence, the probability of Xerxes coming first is 1 out of 6 people

Hence,

Probability (Xerxes coming first) = 1/6

The answer is
(1)/(6)
