Correct Answer: increase by 1


Solution : Given: The average of nine consecutive numbers is $n$.
So, fifth number = $n$
Tenth number = $n + 5$
Eleventh number = $n + 6$
$\therefore$ New average = $\frac{9n + n + 5 + n + 6}{11}=\frac{(11n+11)}{11} = \frac{(n+1)\times 11}{11} = (n+1)$
Hence, the correct answer is "increases by 1".
