Is there a strategy to know if its D instead of picking number?

The above explanation its amazong but when you are against time, its practically imposible to get to that numbers right away.

Kind regards!

Let
Number of people in SetA=n
Number of people in SetB=m>=9

The question tells us that there are 5 times as many ways to pick a team as there are coaches.
Therefore

(m choose 9)=5n

when m=9
(9 choose 9)=5n
1=5n
n=1/5
m can't be 9 since n cannot be 1/5

when m=10
(10 choose 9)=5n
10=5n
n=2
therefore m>n: Choice B

when m=11
(11 choose 9)=5n
55=5n
n=11
therefore m=n: Choice C

We stop and Final Answer: D
