in harry potter and the chambers of secrets. Nearly Headless Nick is a ghost so he would be unable to eat or drink so how did he become unpetrified after seeing the baslick?

The Baslisk’s dying must have somehow affected his state, since he is a ghost and cannot die, he could not be petrified forever.
I’m sorry but I believe nobody knows mate. Read this from Harry Potter Wikia:
During the 1992 school year, when the Chamber of Secrets was opened, he was one of those petrified by the Basilisk, which suggests that he might be Muggle-born, though it might have been simply a coincidence as Justin Finch-Fletchley appeared to be the main target of the Basilisk. Nick saved Justin’s life by taking the brunt of the Basilisk’s otherwise-lethal gaze, with Justin seeing the basilisk through Nick rather than being directly exposed to its vision; Nick naturally received the full blast of its power, but as a ghost it was naturally impossible for him to die again. By the end of the year he was revived (back to being a ghost). It’s unclear what method was used to restore him, as being a ghost the mandrake concoction created to revive the human students may have been difficult to administer a ghost.
It must have only been temporary, as he was a ghost… But I’m just guessing…
Maybe they put it in a squirt bottle and sprayed him. That’s the only way i can think of.
