Difference between the two trusts in property law

Would someone be able to break down the fundamental differences between a resulting trust and a constructive trust in property law?

And do you know any tips that could help me distinguish between them in an exam.

Lastly, if there is a scenario where a couple purchase a house and the wife makes a deposit but the title goes the husband, and the husband later pays for the repayment of the mortgage would this be a resulting trust?
And if it is, does it remain as one even if the wife pays for the bills, food, raises the kid and renovates the kitchen?

Greatly appreciate your help!
