Question

Q is as much younger than R, as he is older than T. If the sum of the ages of R and T is 50 years, what is the difference between R and Q's age?

• A. 1 year
• B. 2 years
• C. 25 years
• D. Data inadequate

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Data inadequate

Let the ages of R, Q and T be r, q and t years respectively.

r - q = q - t

$⟹$r + t = 2q.

Also, r + t = 50

$⟹$q = 25 years

So, (r - q) cannot be determined.
