You can't answer the question. If in the first set of numbers, everything is equal to 88, and in the second set everything is equal to 92, then our median will be 92 when we combine the two sets. If, on the other hand, in the first set everything is equal to 88 and in the second set half our values are 88 and half our values are 96, then the median will be 88 when we combine the two sets. There are many other possibilities.
