Let original speed be x.
time = distance/speed
original time = 1200 / x
new time = 1200 / x+100
1200 / x - 1200 / x + 100 = 1
1200 (1 / x - 1 / x + 100)=1
1200 (x + 100 - x / x* +100x) =1 here x* is x square.
120000 = x * + 100x
x * + 100x -120000 =0
therefore by solving equation
x = 300 km/hr

HEY MATE!
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:
Let the usual speed be xkm/hr
distance=1200
time1 =1200/x
time2=1200/x+100
now, 1200/x-1200/x+100=1
1200(x+100)-1200x/x(x+100)=1
1200x+120000-1200x/x^2+100x=1
120000=x^2+100x
0=x^2+100x-120000
0=x^2+400x-300x-120000
0=x(x+400)-300(x+400)
0=(x-300)(x+400)
x=300,-400
Speed cannot be negative,
Hence the usual speed is 300km/hr
