1. INEQUATION; 2. IRIDACEOUS

Reasoning:

This puzzle seems to be about the regular vowels AEIOU, as hinted by the beginning letters of Brian and Charles' liked lists.

Adam likes words which contain all 5 vowels and begin with 'I'.

Brian likes words which begin with a vowel and end with 'TION'.

Charles likes words which begin with a vowel and end with 'OUS'.

Which is the only 10 letter word that will be liked by both Adam and Brian?

Checking against a default qat list, the only answer is INEQUATION.

Which is the only 10 letter word that will be liked by both Adam and Charles?

Checking against a default qat list, the only answer is IRIDACEOUS.

$\begingroup$ I've added qat links to your answer to help demonstrate to users who may not know what qat is. However, it seems the second answer is really dependent on dictionary choice - using the union of all available dictionaries suggests there are 5 potential answers for that one... (Not at all saying you're wrong - your answer certainly looks like what the OP intended!) $\endgroup$
