I do understand the (2) option, but I can come up with at least 1 example in (1) that is different from others (e.g., when x=y=3, the median will be equal in both sets A and B).
Any thoughts on where I might be wrong?

1. If x = y = 3, then the answer to the question whether the median of set A is greater than the median of set B is NO: the medians are equal. All other possible cases also give a NO answer to the question. So, (1) is sufficient.
2. The question is not good. The statements contradict each other. (1) says that x = y, while (2) gives that x < y. The statements can never contradict each other (or the stem) on the GMAT.
3. The median of A can never be greater than the median of B, so we can answer the question without any of the statements.
Overall not a good question. So, you can ignore it and move on.
