To determine the average points per game for both Player A and Player B, we can calculate it by dividing the total points scored by the number of games played:

### Player A
1. For the first point (2 points, 40 games):
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{2}{40} = 0.05 \text{ points per game}
\]

2. For the second point (4 points, 80 games):
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{4}{80} = 0.05 \text{ points per game}
\]

### Player B
1. For the first point (3 points, 45 games):
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{3}{45} = 0.0667 \text{ points per game}
\]

2. For the second point (5 points, 75 games):
\[
\text{Average} = \frac{5}{75} = 0.0667 \text{ points per game}
\]

### Conclusion
Now, let us summarize the averages:
- Player A averages 0.05 points per game for both data points.
- Player B averages 0.0667 points per game for both data points.

Thus, **Player B averaged more points than Player A**.

As for the options provided:
- "Player B averaged more points than Player A Player B averaged 45 points per game" is incorrect.
- "Player A averaged more points than Player B Player A averaged 80 points per game" is incorrect.
- "Player A averaged more points than Player B. Player A averaged 20 points per game" is incorrect.
- "Player B averaged more points than Player A Player B averaged 75 points per game" is incorrect.

None of the options correctly reflect the average calculations. The correct conclusion is that **Player B averaged more points per game (0.0667) than Player A (0.05)**, but specific average points stated in options are not correct.
