\(|m|<15\) and \(m=n+10\)
\(|n+10|<15\)
\(m<15\) and \(m>-15\)
\(n+10<15\) and \(n+10>-15\)
\(n<5\) and \(n>-25\) ---> \(-25<n<5\) ALSO \(-15<m<15\)
\(-45-50<3m+2n<45+10\) ---> \(-95<3m+2n<55\)
the required is \(|-95-55|=150\)
IMO, answer is A
\(|n+10|<15\)
\(m<15\) and \(m>-15\)
\(n+10<15\) and \(n+10>-15\)
\(n<5\) and \(n>-25\) ---> \(-25<n<5\) ALSO \(-15<m<15\)
\(-45-50<3m+2n<45+10\) ---> \(-95<3m+2n<55\)
the required is \(|-95-55|=150\)
IMO, answer is A

Good Explanation but we cannot use 55 and -95 as per the inequality
So, The difference has to be |-94 - (54)| = |-148| = 148
