Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.

Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240

Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160

Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
