Question
Two lines AB and CD intersect each other at a point O such that $\angle\text{AOC}:\angle\text{AOD}=5:7.$ Find all the angles.

Answer
Let $\angle\text{AOC}=5\text{k}$ and $\angle\text{AOD}=7\text{k,}$ where k is some constant. Here, $\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{AOD}$ form a linear pair.$\therefore\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{AOD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow5\text{k}+7\text{k}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow12\text{k}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=15^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{AOC}=5\text{k}=5\times15^\circ=75^\circ$
$\angle\text{AOD}=7\text{k}=7\times15^\circ=105^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{BOD}=\angle\text{AOC}=75^\circ$ (Vertically opposite angles)$\angle\text{BOC}=\angle\text{AOD}=105^\circ$ (Vertically opposite angles)
$\Rightarrow5\text{k}+7\text{k}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow12\text{k}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{k}=15^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{AOC}=5\text{k}=5\times15^\circ=75^\circ$
$\angle\text{AOD}=7\text{k}=7\times15^\circ=105^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{BOD}=\angle\text{AOC}=75^\circ$ (Vertically opposite angles)$\angle\text{BOC}=\angle\text{AOD}=105^\circ$ (Vertically opposite angles)
