One wonders what the change would be if the shaft was only doing 180rpm in the first place...

This question is from the pdf version of the PEM (Professional Energy Manager) exam available through Schneider Electric's Energy University.
The pdf version is missing a key piece of information that the motor was originally running @ 1800 RPM. This number will show up when you take the actual exam online.
Anyway, the right answer is b. 13.5 kW.
(@1620 RPM, the demand will be 36.5 kW, so the change is 50 - 36.5 = 13.5 kW)
