D: The question is looks not clearly typed. What I sense is D. 120,000.
Since median is 330,000 after the correction, only way that 330,000 is median possible is to reduce Ann's sales is to be reduced by 120,000.
Hence Cal's sales is 190,000 + 120,000 = 310,000.
GMAT TIGER
agree with GT..
median values must be Ann's sale.
Let x be the corrected figure. Since median is 3,30,000. This must be Ann's corrected sale. Thus 450,000=330,000+x
Hence, x=120,000
Hence, x=120,000
