The correct answer is: 45 m s-1

According to the second equation, of motion, in terms of initial velocity and uniform acceleration, s=ut+12at2
the displacement is given, 
s=6 m

6=4t+124t22t2+2t-62=0t2+2t-3=0

Now find the root of the above equation, 
t=-2±4+122=1 s

then the formula, 
vx=4+4×1=8 m s-1
vy=0+4×1=4 m s-1

then the resultant velocity, 
v=vx2+vy2=82+42=45 m s-1
