What number is as much more than 10 as it is less than one half of what 30 is 10 less than?
In mathematical symbols, the question becomes:
10 + x = y and (1/2 * 30) = 10 + x
Solve the second equation first to get:
30/2 = 10 + x
15 = 10 + x
5 = x
Plug the value of x into the first equation to get:
10 + 5 = y
15 = y
The answer to the question is 15.

They stand for the diffrent classes of stars. They are put in these classes depending on what color they are and how hot they are.
The letters refer to how prominently hydrogen is visible in a stars spectrum. It originally existed on a full scale: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO
As the physics of stars became better understood, many of the letters (CDEL) were rendered obsolete and it was realised that very hot stars have less prominent hydrogen lines, so that the order was re-arranged with O (no lines) then B before AFGKMN.
The reasons for O and B at the top is that in hot stars the Hydrogen becomes ionised which gives a different set of characteristic lines.
As such, they are now in order of overall surface temperature (and color), from white-blue stars more than 33,000K, down to red N class, at less than 3,500K.
Also, as long as we talk about main sequence stars, stars in their main stage of life, it generally indicates size as well, with O class stars being the largest (50+ solar masses) to N being the smallest (0.5 solar masses or less)
