(a) Ratio of basketball to table tennis: 3:1

(b) Ratio of cricket to basketball: 16:15

(c) Ratio of basketball to total students: 5:12

Let's solve the questions about the students opting for different games:

(a) Ratio of basketball to table tennis:

Total number of students - cricket and basketball students = 1800 - 750 - 800 = 250 students opted table tennis.

Ratio of basketball to table tennis = 750 students / 250 students = 3:1.

(b) Ratio of cricket to basketball:

Ratio of cricket to basketball = 800 students / 750 students = 16:15.

(c) Ratio of basketball to total students:

Ratio of basketball to total students = 750 students / 1800 students = 5:12.

Complete question:

Out of 1800 students in a school, 750 opted basketball, 800 opted cricket and remaining opted table tennis. If a student can opt only one game, find the ratio of

(a) Number of students who opted basketball to the number of students who opted table tennis.

(b) Number of students who opted cricket to the number of students opting basketball.

(c) Number of students who opted basketball to the total number of students.
