- The difference in arrival times is 15 minutes (10 minutes early and 5 minutes late).

- These 15 minutes represent the time difference due to the speed change from 40 km/h to 35 km/h.

- Calculate the journey time difference caused by this speed change over a constant distance.

- The journey duration at 35 km/h has the boy arriving 15 minutes later than if he traveled at 40 km/h.

- Time taken at 35 km/h is: $(D / 35) \times 60$ (minutes), where D is the distance.

- The correct option equates to the time of arrival when fitting these conditions.

- 120 minutes is the correct journey time at 35 km/h.
