Answer:The correct answer is: The 5th caller and the 16th caller are eligible for the prizes.

Explanation:

The correct answer is: The 5th caller and the 16th caller are eligible for the prizes.

To find the eligible callers, we need to solve the absolute value equation:

|x - 111| = 5

This equation has two solutions:

x - 111 = 5 or x - 111 = -5

Solving for x in each case, we get:

x = 116 or x = 106

Therefore, the 5th caller is the one who calls in the 106th position, and the 16th caller is the one who calls in the 116th position.
