Solution

The correct option is A

16:5


Total number of students in the school = 1800
Number of students who chose football = 800
Number of students who chose basketball = 750

Number of students who did not choose any game = 1800 - 800 - 750 = 1800 - 1550 = 250

The ratio of the number of students who chose football to the number of students who did not choose any game = 800250
= 165
Therefore, the required ratio is 16:5.
