Given:

Distance = Speed × Time

Initial Speed = 80 km/hr

Initial Time = 6 hours

New Time = 5 hours

Formula used:

New Speed = Distance / New Time

Calculation:

Distance = Initial Speed × Initial Time

⇒ Distance = 80 × 6 = 480 km

New Speed = Distance / New Time

⇒ New Speed = 480 / 5

⇒ New Speed = 96 km/hr

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
