Correct Answer: 54.55 minutes


Solution : Speed = 4 km/hr
Time taken = 3 hr 45 min = $\frac{15}{4}$ hr
So, the distance = Speed × Time = $4×\frac{15}{4}$ = 15 km
New speed = 16.5 km/hr
$\therefore$ Time taken at 16.5 km/hr = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ = $\frac{15}{16.5}$ = 0.9091 hr = 0.9091 × 60 = 54.55 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 54.55 minutes.
