'A'
Stmt 1 is sufficient. If the averages of S & M are equal, so will the medians.
Stmt2 - Not suff.

WHat if the two numbers that M has are 13.5 and 17.5?
Then median would be different.
No?

M is a subset of S--> M should have only those in S: 13.5 & 17.5 ARE NOT elements of S

I think what india means is that the sequence S itself is not well defined, there can be anything between 8 and 24.
But if there only even integers in between, the answer is indeed A.
