Solution

The correct option is A 16323 m/s
We know that velocity is rate of change of position with respect to time, function of position is given as x=6+4t2t4

Velocity, v=dxdt=8t4t3
acceleration a=dvdt=812t2
For finding the maxima of any function we diffrentiate it and equate to zero.

Velocity is maximum when dvdt=0
812t2=0t=23

Now by substituting the time in the function of velocity we get,
maximum velocity,
=8234.23.23
=16323 m/s

Hence option A is the correct answer
