I think the answer is D
Statement 1: Gives you the first four scores and the average scores for the last three exams. So, using the average the last score can be determined. Once we have all the five scores, we can tell the median is 87.
Statement 2: Gives the first three scores and the average for all the five scores. So we have two unknowns the last two exam scores.
Using the average, we can see that 76+87+73+x+y = 86*5
=> x+y = 194.
But the scores have a range of 1 to 100 inclusive.
Assuming x =100, y = 94, so you can tell he did not get any lower than 94 in both the exams.
ie, the median is 87.
