    Prior to adding 75, the original data has a mean of 41/6 = 6.833 & a median of 8

    After adding the 75, the mean becomes 116/7 = 16.571 & the median = 9

    So the median increased slightly (from 8 to 9) & the mean increased more quickly (from 6.833 to 16.571)

    So it's C : The median increases less than the mean increases.
