This is my analysis: A: the average of X. B:the average of Y. Z: the average of Z. a: the medium of X. b: the medium of Y. z: the medium of Z. according to (1): we get a>z>b according to (2): 5A+7B=12Z,we get A>Z>B But we do not know if B>a, or if A>b. so we can not get a solution. the correct selection is (E) But if (1) is changed to a<b, and (2) remain unchanged, we get: a<z<b, A>Z>B, and B>b, so the outcome is Z>z. If (2) is changed to A<B, and (1) remain unchanged. We get: a>z>b, A<Z<B, and A>a, so the outcome is Z>z
