C Correct answer
Explanation

Time taken to cover 3 km at 2 km/hr is 3/2 = 1.5 hours. At 1.5 km/hr, the distance covered in 1.5 hours is 1.5 * 1.5 = 2.25 km.

AI explanation

First, calculate the time period by dividing the initial distance by the initial speed using the formula time = distance / speed. The time is 3 km / 2 km/hr = 1.5 hours. Using this same time, the new distance covered at 1.5 km/hr is 1.5 km/hr * 1.5 hr = 2.25 km. The distance he can cover is 2.25 km.
