Solution -
The range of a set is its maximum value minus its minimum value. The maximum and minimum values for the distances occur when points A, B, and C lie on a line. If A is the middle point, then the distance between B and C is 48+24=72. If B is in the middle, then the distance between B and C is 48-24=24. So the range is 72-24=48.
Correct Answer - D
