Correct Answer: increase by 1
Solution : Let $(x–2),(x–1), x, (x+1), (x+2)$ be the 5 consecutive positive integers. The average of an AP with an odd number of terms = middle term $⇒ x = n$ When the next two integers are also included, $⇒ (x–2),(x–1), x, (x+1), (x+2), (x+3), (x+4)$ New average = middle term $= (x+1) = n+1$ ⇒ Average has increased by 1. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
