Missiles travel at different speed depending on purpose . An average Tomahawk cruise missile will travel at about 550 mph- but in that case stealth and accuracy are paramount to speed. -Common anti aircraft missiles like Sidewinder travel about 2,100 mph above launch speed. The latest ASRAAM, as used by Australian and Royal Air Forces flies at about 2,800 above launch speed. Russia is reputed to have developed a ground based AAM that can fly over 10,000 mph

Can nuclear weapon explode if nuclear tipped missile is intercepted in air by the anti ballistic missile?

Maybe. If ABM was nuclear itself, it will probably cause fratricide in the warhead causing it to dud. If ABM is conventional it might detonate conventional explosives in warhead. Whether this produces yield or not depends on how safe the warhead was designed against one point detonation nuclear yield.
