Correct answer: (C) 140 — There are 140 coaches, so the answer is 140.
Explanation
★There are 140 coaches, so the answer is 140.
★There is one coach for every fourteen players.
★So each such group has 14 players plus 1 coach, which is 15 persons.
★The total group has 2100 persons.
★The number of such groups is 2100 divided by 15.
