What is the use of key=a 50% ?

If this means 50% max of the potentiometer, then the max resistance is 50 ohms. Thus using a voltage divider,

Vout max = 24* 5k/5k + 5k = 12 volts [which is wrong].

Is the key=a 50% a typo? Using the whole value of the potentiometer,

Vout max = 24 *10k/ 5k + 10k = 16 volts.

Some time in multiple type Q. we use our common sense,
In the give Q. the min. voltage is 0V, so we cant calculate the min. voltage. and for calculation of max. voltage we can use voltage divider rule, So

Vmax = Vout = (10k * V1)/(10k + R1)
Vmax = (10k * 24)/(15k)
Vmax = 16V.

Min current = 24/15K = 1.6 mA.

We at point A = 1.6mA * 5K = 8 V.

We at point B = 1.6mA * 15K = 24 V.

So, min voltage (24 - 24) = 0 V.

Max voltage (24 - 8) = 16 V.

Total current = v/(r1+r2)

= 24/15 = 1.6A

Voltage drop across 10 kohm resistance is the max. voltage.

So, max.vol = 10*1.6 = 16v or min.volt = 0v.

Total current I= 24/15k = 1.6m amp
voltage drop across R1= 5*1.6m= 8v

So voltage drop across R2=10*1.6=16v ans

Apply the kcl law over here that will be (Vout-24)/5K+ (Vout)/10K = 0.

By this we can calculate the Vout.

The given key value is 50%. So apply the voltage divider rule by kept the pot value as 5 Kohm.

min current=24/15=1.6ma , than 1.6*5=8v,

So that max volatage drops=24-8=16

Apply voltage divider rule i.e. vout = v1*(r2/r1+r2).

= 24*(10k/15k) = 16v.

vout = v1 * (r2/r1+r2).
= 24 * (10k/15k),
= 16v.
