A) Remains unchanged
B) May decrease
C) May increase
D) Is increased by 10%
Let 10 numbers be x1, x2, x3 ….. x10
According to question average of these 10 numbers is 10.
⇒ (x1 + x2 + x3 + …….. + x10)/10 = x
Now if each number is increased by 10%, then new average, say y,
y = (1.1 x1 + 1.1 x2 + 1.1 x3 + ……… + 1.1 x10)/10
⇒ y = 1.1 × ({x1 + x2 + x3 + …….. + x10}/10)
⇒ y= 1.1 x
⇒ y is 10% increased.
