b
Let his initial speed be X kmph

After reaching City B, let the distance yet to travel = D km

Therefore D = Xt = 0.8X (t + 0.4) [where t is the planned time and 1 hr for match was already calculated]
or, Xt = 0.8Xt + 0.32X
or, 0.2Xt = 0.32X
or, t = 1.6

Therefore t= 1 hr 36min which was the planned time

Now if he would have travelled 120km with speed Xkmph and then stopped for 1hr for the match and then continues with a speed of 0.8X kmph then time taken will be (t+0.2) i.e 1.6+0.2 = 1.8 hr

Therefore t1(time taken to travel 120km with speed X) + t2(time taken to travel rest distance with speed 0.8X) = 1.8 hr

or, 120/X + (1.6X-120)/0.8X = 1.8
120/X + 2 - 150/X = 1.8
30/X = 0.2
X= 30/0.2 = 150

Therefore actual speed = 150kmph
