Detailed Solution

Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it travels  with uniform velocity in the horizontal  direction while it also accelerates in vertical  direction due to gravity
Given :
Distance travelled in horizontal direction =  30m
Distance travelled in vertical direction (150- 27.5) m
Assumption :
Horizontal velocity (v)=u
Total time taken = t
g=9.8ms2
Now, Horizontal  distance = ut (speed x time )
Ut = 30 _____ (i)
Vertical distance =12gt2
12gt2=122.5
Put the value of t from equation (i) to Eq. 
(ii) 12(9.8)3042=122.5u2=9.8×30×302×122.5u=6=6m/s
Hence option B is correct.
