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.

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.
