Concept:

\(\rm Coefficient\ of\ variation= {(standard\ deviaiton)\over Mean } ×100 \)

Calculation:

Given, 

\(\rm \overline X = 10\)

σ = 4

\(\rm CV ={\left({ \sigma \over \overline x}\right)\times 100}\)

∴ CV = \(\rm {4\over 10}\times100 = 40\)

So, new CV = \(\rm {\left({ \sigma \over \overline x\ +\ 10}\right)\times 100}\)

∴ new CV =\(\rm {4\over (10\ +\ 10)}\times 100\)

∴ new CV = 20
