Solution

The correct option is C 6.3 min
Formula used: Q=msΔθ, Q=Vit

Given: i=4 A,V=220 V,m=1 kg,θ1=20C,θf=100C,s=4200 J/kgC

Heat energy released by resistor gets used in increasing temperature of body.
Since we already know about how much increase in temperature Δ θ=10020=80C, we have to find time for which kettle must be kept on.
Energy=Vit=msΔθ
220×4× t=1×4200(10020)
t=381.85 s=6.3 min

FINAL ANSWER: (c)
