We will try out numbers to prove this.
Case 1 : Let x = y = 5
D = {5, 13, 17, 22, 24}
E = {5, 13, 17, 22, 24}
Range of D = Range of E
Median of D = Median of E = 17
Case 2 : Let x = 18, y = 23
D = { 13, 17, 18, 22, 24}
E = {13, 17, 22, 23, 24}
Range of Set D = Set E
Median of Set D = 18, Median of Set E = 22
Median of D < Median of E
Since 2 cases are possible, Answer is E
Case 1 : Let x = y = 5
D = {5, 13, 17, 22, 24}
E = {5, 13, 17, 22, 24}
Range of D = Range of E
Median of D = Median of E = 17
Case 2 : Let x = 18, y = 23
D = { 13, 17, 18, 22, 24}
E = {13, 17, 22, 23, 24}
Range of Set D = Set E
Median of Set D = 18, Median of Set E = 22
Median of D < Median of E
Since 2 cases are possible, Answer is E
