Quantity A can be used to create the equation (6+1+11+x+2)/5 = x, where we can solve for x => x=5. To find the median of the second set, we must first put the terms in order. We know y is the median, so we can write it as {1,2,y,5,11}. y could be 2,3,4,5, or a number between them (since the prompt never says x is an integer), which will yield different answers to the problem. Therefore the correct answer is D.

{6,1,11,x,2} set A
Avg. of set A = (6 + 1 + 11 + 2 + x)/5 = x
Solve to get x = 5
{2,y,11,1,5} set B
median : {1,2,y,5,11}
Thus y can 2,3,4,5. Since y can be 5 and x is 5.
Answer: D

{2,y,11,1,5} set B

Theory
The arithmetic mean of {6, 1, 11, x, 2} is x
Arithmetic Mean = \(\frac{Sum}{5}\) = \(\frac{6 + 1 + 11 + x + 2}{5}\) = \(\frac{20 + x }{ 5}\) = x (given)
=> 20 + x = 5*x = 5x
=> 5x - x = 20
=> 4x = 20
=> x = \(\frac{20}{4}\) = 5
The median of {2, y, 11, 1, 5} is y
Since there are 5 values and y is the median => y is the middle term or the third term
So, arranging numbers in ascending order and keeping y as the third term we get
{ 1, 2, y, 5, 11 }
Since, y is the median => 2 ≤ y ≤ 5
Clearly Quantity A(x=5) can be greater than or equal to Quantity B (2 ≤ y ≤ 5)
So, Answer will be D.
Hope it helps!

_________________
- ➡ Average or Arithmetic Mean = Sum of all the Values / Total Number of Values
➡ In case of even number of numbers in the set: Median is the mean of the two middle numbers (after the numbers are arranged in the increasing / decreasing order)
➡ In case of odd number of numbers in the set: Median is the middle number (after the numbers are arranged in increasing/ decreasing order )
The arithmetic mean of {6, 1, 11, x, 2} is x
Arithmetic Mean = \(\frac{Sum}{5}\) = \(\frac{6 + 1 + 11 + x + 2}{5}\) = \(\frac{20 + x }{ 5}\) = x (given)
=> 20 + x = 5*x = 5x
=> 5x - x = 20
=> 4x = 20
=> x = \(\frac{20}{4}\) = 5
