A bird seller has 500 birds, 75% is lighter than 134g. 60% of the birds heavier than 100g is heavier than 134g. What is the median of their weights?

[spoiler]OA : 92[/spoiler] I have calculated the no. of birds in different weight ranges such as <100, between 100 and 134, >134 but i am not able to find out the median.. please lemme know if i am missing something..

How is the median possible with this much information?
I am very interested if somebody can solve this. If this was DS and no values of weight given in any options I wouldn't even go for solving,
(E) would be my answer, unless I am missing something

Provide the answers

We can estimate the MEDIAN , but need to see the answer choices to mark the correct answer
