I couldn't stop laughing, what a weird question
Anyways,
Life expectancy = \(\frac{2SB}{G}\)
Its given that G = 2B, when Life expectancy = 50
Therefore,
50 = \(\frac{2SB}{2B}\)
50 = S
Hence, option E

Life expectancy is defined by the formula \(\frac{2SB}{G}\), where S = shoe size, B = average monthly electric bill in dollars, and G = GRE score
If Melvin’s GRE score is twice his monthly electric bill
=> G = 2B
His life expectancy is 50, what is his shoe size?
50 = \(\frac{2SB}{2B}\) = S
=> S = 50
So, Answer will be D
Hope it helps!
