C.

2 hour

Let the original speed of aeroplane be x kmph.
 According to the question,
   rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator 1200 over denominator straight x minus 300 end fraction space minus 1200 over straight x space equals space 2
rightwards double arrow space space 1200 space open parentheses fraction numerator straight x minus straight x plus 300 over denominator straight x left parenthesis straight x minus 300 right parenthesis end fraction close parentheses space equals space 2
rightwards double arrow space space straight x left parenthesis straight x minus 300 right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator 1200 space cross times space 300 over denominator 2 end fraction
rightwards double arrow space space space straight x left parenthesis straight x minus 300 right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator 1200 space cross times space 300 over denominator 2 end fraction
rightwards double arrow space space space straight x left parenthesis straight x minus 300 right parenthesis space equals space 600 space cross times space 300
rightwards double arrow space space straight x space equals space 600 space kmph.
∴ Scheduled duration of the flight
   space equals space Distance over Speed equals space 1200 over 600 space equals space 2 space hours
