Solution
Number of cricket players = 30
Number of kho-kho players = 20
∴ Total number of player = Number of cricket players + Number of kho-kho players = 30 + 20 = 50
Ratio of cricket players to the total number of players = Number of cricket players:Total number of player
= 30 : 50
= `30/50`
= `(30 div 10)/(50 div 10)` (HCF of 30 and 50 = 10)
= `3/5`
= 3:5
Thus, the ratio of cricket players to the total number of players is `3/5` or 3 : 5.
