The speed of the car increases by 3 miles per hour every 10 minutes.

In the fourth interval its speed was found to be 33 mph.

So, in the second interval the car would have traveled at 27 mph.

Therefore, the distance covered in the second interval will be rate * time = 27mph * 1/6 hour

4.5 miles. Choice B
