Let Zia's age be = x years

Raj is three years older than Zia, so Raj's age = x+3 years

As the sum of the squares of their ages is 369, so

x^{2}+(x+3)^{2}=369

x^{2}+x^{2}+6x+9=369

2x^{2}+6x+9=369

2x^{2}+6x-360=0

Factoring 2 out we have,

x^{2}+3x-180=0

Now solving this equation,

x^{2}+15x-12x-180=0

x(x+15)-12(x+15)

(x+15)(x-12)

x=-15 and x=12

Neglect the negative value as x cannot be negative

So x=12

Hence, Zia's age is 12 years and

Raj's age is 12+3 = 15 years

D. The males have a suspected significant high outlier. 

The outlier will make the box plot be uneven and this will affect the spread and the center.

I know isn't A, because if anything that would make it more balanced.
I know it isn't B because this would not affect the spread or the center.
I know it isn't C because the question is not asking you to determine the spread and center, just to see if there is anything that would affect them.

I hope this helps!
