A

remain the same

B

increase by $0.5$

C

increase by $1$

D

Solution

Let, the numbers be $n-1, n$ and $n+1$. Their average

$=n$

The next two consecutive numbers are $n+2$ and $n+3$.

Therefore, the average of the five numbers

$=\frac{(n-1)+n+(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)}{5}$

$=\frac{5 n+5}{5}$

$=n+1$
