Total distance =35-(-15) =50
So the middle point= -15+50/2 =-15+25 =10

Range: |x-middle point|< ( distance from midpoint to endpoint)
=> |x-10|<25

Ans B

While I know that none of the other options make sense and the answer is B, from the number line how do we know whether the end points are inclusive or exclusive ?
