Total number of students = 1800

Number of students who opted for basketball = 750

Number of students who opted for cricket= 800

Number of students who opted for Table Tennis = 1800 - 750 - 800

= 250

Now,

The ratio of

(a) The number  of students who opted basketball to the number of students who opted table tennis:

$\frac{750}{250}=\frac{3}{1}=3:1$

(b) The number  of students who opted cricket to the number of students opting basketball:

$\frac{800}{750}=\frac{16}{15}=16:15$

(c) The number of students who opted basketball to the total number of students:

$\frac{750}{1800}=\frac{5}{12}=5:12$
