The correct answer is: 2π rad s-2
We know that,

ω=2πn

ω1=2πn1

Where n1=1800 rpm

n2=3000 rpm

Δt=20 s

ω1=2π×180060

=2π×30=60π

Similarly, ω2=2πn2=2π×300060

=2π×50

=100π

If the angular velocity of a rotting wheel about on axis changes by change in angular velocity in a time interval Δt , then the angular acceleration of rotating wheel about that axis is

α=Change in angular velocityTime interval

α=ω2-ω1Δt

=100π-60π20

=40π20

=2π rad/s2
