-5.5 km/hr/sec
11 km/hr/sec
-11 km/hr/sec

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (later speed) - (earlier speed) = (13 - 24) = -11 km/hr
Time for the change = 2 seconds

Acceleration = (-11 km/hr) / (2 sec)

Acceleration = -5.5 km/hr-sec  (B)

Answer:

Option (b) -5.5km/sec
