Answer is C

1,184 units in 37 secs = 1184/37 units/sec (didn't bother to figure out the division)

For 1 min (or 60 secs), units of helium = 1184/37 x 60. Option C is the only answer with the unit value of 0 so I went for it and didn't bother to do the arithmetic.

C. 1,920
D. 2,564
E. 3,122

In 37 seconds -> 1184, so will be slightly less than double in a minute -> 1920

(1184*60)/37= option C 1920

37sec- 1184 unit
60sec- x (how much)

x = (1184*60)/37

you can see that the numerator would have zero finally in answer. Only option C has the same. solved without even calculating anything

Thanks
