Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is b. Data inadequate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let K, R, T be the ages of King, Rowlet, and Truman

Given that King is as much younger than Rowlet as he is older than  Truman

Therefore,

Difference between ages of Rowlet and King = difference between ages of King and Truman

R - K = K - T

R + T = K + K

R + T = 2K → (1)

Also, the sum of the ages of Rowlet and Truman is 50 years

R + T = 50 → (2)

By the equations (1) and (2)

2K = 50

K = 25

The question is to find the difference between Rowlet and King's age

that is R - K =?

To find R - K, we know the age of King, but we don't know the age of Rowlet hence the data is inadequate.
