The median is the middle value (or mean of the two middle values if there are an even number of values) and so is unaffected by an increase in the highest data value. It is still 90.

The mean was 95, so the total for the data set was 95x100 = 9500. If the highest data value is increased by 200, the data set total is also increased by 200, giving a new data set total of 9500 + 200 = 9700, so the new mean is 9700/100 = 97.
