I wanted to mention it. If we take out two numbers, the difference is the number between the two numbers.

The answer choice should be B, because its not mentioned in the question that integers from r to s are consecutive. Can anyone please clarify ?

Hi Dino :)

The question asks, "How many integers are there between, but not including, integers r and s?" In other words, the question is asking about all of the integers from r to s, which is another way of saying the number of consecutive integers between the two variables. The prompt does not need to explicitly reference the idea of consecutive integers, because a list of all of the integers within a certain range is the same as a list of the consecutive integers within that range. With that in mind, Statement 1 is sufficient and the answer is (D).

I hope this helps! :)
