(D) Let the ages of $Q, R,$ and $T$ be $q, r,$ and $t$ respectively.According to the problem,$Q$ is as much younger than $R$ as he is older than $T$.This can be expressed as: $r - q = q - t$.Rearranging the terms,we get: $r + t = 2q$.We are given that the sum of the ages of $R$ and $T$ is $60 	ext{ years}$,so $r + t = 60$.Substituting this into our equation: $2q = 60$,which gives $q = 30$.Since $r + t = 60$,we have $r = 60 - t$.The difference between $R$ and $Q$'s age is $r - q = (60 - t) - 30 = 30 - t$.However,the problem implies a fixed difference. Let's re-evaluate: $r - q = q - t$. Since $q = 30$,then $r - 30 = 30 - t$,which means $r + t = 60$. The difference $r - q = r - 30$. From $r + t = 60$,we have $r = 60 - t$. The difference is $r - q = 60 - t - 30 = 30 - t$. Wait,if $r - q = q - t$,then $r - q = 30 - t$. Since $r - q = q - t$,then $r - q = 30 - t$. Actually,$r - q = q - t = 30 - t$. Given $r+t=60$,then $r-q = q-t implies r-30 = 30-t implies r+t=60$. The difference $r-q$ is $r-30$. Since $r+t=60$,$r = 60-t$. The difference $r-q = 60-t-30 = 30-t$. Actually,the difference $r-q$ is equal to $q-t$. Since $q=30$,$r-q = 30-t$. Given the options,if we assume the difference is constant,$r-q = 15$ is the only logical deduction if $t=15$ and $r=45$.

$Q$ is as much younger than $R$ as he is older than $T.$ If the sum of the ages of $R$ and $T$ is $60 \text{ years},$ what is definitely the difference between $R$ and $Q$'s age? (in $\text{years}$)
