Using conservation of momentum

MV+mv = (M+m)v'

Where :
M- Mass of the boy= 45 kg
m- mass of the trolley = 30 kg
V- velcoity of the boy = 6 m/s
v- velocity of the trolley= 1.5m/s
v' - common velocity = x

(45 + 30) x = (45 x 6 + 30 x 1.5)

v' = x= 4.2 m/s

Hence, the common velocity of the 4.2 m/s.

Correct option is B
