mean = 50. 
ie ∑x / 100 = 50 , where x are the observations
therefore ∑x = 50 * 100 = 5000
now, 100 is actually 110, so 

new ∑x =  5000 - 100 + 110 
new ∑x = 5010 
new mean = new∑x/ 100 = 5010/100 = 50.1 

new median = 52, as median remains unchanged as it is the middlemost observation, hence 110 has no effect on the median as it is the highest observation
