      The ratio of the ages of a teacher and a student is 5:2,

      respectively. If the difference between their ages is 18 years, then find the age of the student.
      A 16 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 27 yrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the ages of the teacher and student be '5x' years and '2x' years, respectively.

      ATQ:

      '5x' - '2x' = 18

      Or, 3x = 18

      Or, 'x' = 6

      Therefore, the age of the student = 2x = 2 Γ— 6 = 12 years
