The answer is none.

No ports required for Ping as it uses icmp packets.

It needs to allow icmp 'echo-request' (type 8) packets out and icmp 'echo-reply' (type 0) packets in.

If you need to check the availability of a port, you must use a different tool, such as Paping.
It doesnt use any port. Echo request is an ICMP message which is an internet Layer Protocol so it is sent as an IP datagram.

Why is it that a server needs a fixed port number but client process can be given any random port number?

The client process needs a temporary port number. It tells the server to which port to reply (the TCP or UDP header includes information about the source and the destination port). The client, on the other hand, doesn't know in advance what port the server uses - unless the server uses a standard port number.The client process needs a temporary port number.
