I will assume you meant 80 km/hr instead of 80 km/sec for the first part of the journey
***
let x=total distance of the journey
4/9=24/x
4x=9*24
x=54 km
(5/9)x=30 km
..
for the first 5/9 of his journey
travel time=distance/speed
30 km/80 km/hr=3/8 hr=22.5 min
..
for the second part of his journey
speed=distance/travel time
24 km/(12/60) hr=120 km/hr
how long did he take to complete the whole journey=22.5+12=34.5 min
what was his speed for the second part of his journey=120 km/hr
