Answer : 2. "1 hr 20 min"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 1 hr 20 min Explanation: Let the distance and original speed be 'd' km and 'k' kmph respectively. d/0.8k - d/k = 20/60 => 5d/4k - d/k = 1/3 => (5d - 4d)/4k = 1/3 => d = 4/3 k Time taken to cover the distance at original speed = d/k = 4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.
