Eagerbeaver you are right the answer is 250kts. Once you have started any descent at a pre planned speed if you then have to increase speed you will burn more fuel because of the simple fact you will gradually go low on the pre planned profile and have to increase thrust at some stage.

I think some people here are showing some confusion about the implications on total fuel burn with changes of speed in the descent.
