Explanation:
Age of the Elder Student
Let’s assume the ages of the two students are 3x and 2x, where x is a common factor.

According to the given information, one student is older than the other by 5 years. So, we can set up the following equation:

3x – 2x = 5

Simplifying the equation:

x = 5

Now, we can find the age of the elder student:

Age of the elder student = 3x = 3 * 5 = 15 years

Therefore, the age of the elder student is 15 years. The correct answer is D) 15 Years.
