    Lets us assume the total # of player to be 90. 45 Right handed and 45 Left Handed
    # players present for practice is 30
    # of Left hand players present for practice is 10
    # of Left hand players not present for practice is 30
    # of Right hand players present for practice is 20
    # of Right hand players not present for practice is 25
    Required Ratio is 25/35 = 5/7
    Ans: C

    Correct Ans is 5/7.
    Best strategy, pick a number, which can be divided by 9. Choose Total no of Players such as 90, 180....
