Longitude & latitude

The positions of two towns $P$ and $Q$ are $(15^\circ\text{N}, 12^\circ\text{E})$ and $(65^\circ\text{N}, 12^\circ\text{E})$ . What is their difference in latitude?

Worked solution (try it first)

Both towns are north of the equator, so subtract the latitudes.
The difference is $65^\circ - 15^\circ = 50^\circ$ , option A.
