For this question we will use the following relations.
100 centimeters=1 meter (or 1 centimeter= 0.01 meter)
10 millimeter=1 centimeter (or 1 mm=0.1 cm)
60 minutes = 1 hour (or 1 min= hour)
Now, Jackson's speed is 1350 meters per hour. This can be converted to cm per minute as follows:
...Equation 1
Likewise, Jonah's swim speed in cm/min can be calculated as:
...Equation 2
As we can see clearly after comparing Equation 1 and Equation 2, Jonah's swim speed of 7500 cm/min is faster than that of Jackson.
Thus, option B is correct.
I redrew the triangle (just turned it around it make it easier to understand).
