Given that:
1. The difference of age b/w B and A = The difference of age b/w A and C.
2. Sum of age of B and C is 50 i.e. (B + C) = 50.

Question: A - B = ?.
Explanation:
A - B = B - C
(B+ C) = 2A
Now given that, (B +C) = 50
So, 50 = 2A and therefore A = 25.
Question is (A - B) = ?
Here we know the value(age) of A (25), but we don't know the age of B.
Therefore, (A-B) cannot be determined.

ans- D
1)difference between the ages of B and A=difference between ages of A and C
2)sum of the ages of B and C =50
find difference between ages of A and B
so, 1) B-A=A-C
=>B+C=2A
2)so we know B+C=50
so 2A=50
A=25
so A-B=?
here A is 25 but we don't know the age of B
so we can not find the (A-B)
so data ineadequate
