Solution

The correct option is D

Variance


Explanation for the correct option:

If initially all marks were xi​, then

σi2=(xix¯)2N

Now, each student marks is increased by 10

σi2=[(xi+10)(x¯+10)]2N=σi2

Thus, variance will not change whereas mean, median and mode will increase by 10

Hence, Option ‘D’ is Correct.
