Solution

The correct option is B
36 : 5

Total number of students in the school = 1800
Number of students who chose basketball = 800
Number of students who chose basketball = 750
Number of students who chose cricket = 1800 - (800 + 750)
= 1800 - 1550 = 250

The ratio of the total number of students to the number of students who chose cricket.

$= \frac{Total number of students}{Number of students who chose cricket}$

$= \frac{1800}{250}$

$= \frac{36}{5}$

Therefore, the required ratio is 36:5.
