It can be seen that the external clock pulses (pulses to be counted) are fed directly to each J-K flip-flop in the counter chain and that both the J and K inputs are all tied together in toggle mode, but only in the first flip-flop, flip-flop A (LSB) are they connected HIGH, logic "1" allowing the flip-flop to toggle on every clock pulse. Then the synchronous counter follows a predetermined sequence of states in response to the common clock signal, advancing one state for each pulse.

The J and K inputs of flip-flop B are connected to the output "Q" of flip-flop A, but the J and K inputs of flip-flops C and D are driven from AND gates which are also supplied with signals from the input and output of the previous stage. If we enable each J-K flip-flop to toggle based on whether or not all preceding flip-flop outputs (Q) are "HIGH" we can obtain the same counting sequence as with the asynchronous circuit but without the ripple effect, since each flip-flop in this circuit will be clocked at exactly the same time. As there is no propagation delay in synchronous counters because all the counter stages are triggered in parallel the maximum operating frequency of this type of counter is much higher than that of a similar asynchronous counter.

What is the maximum counting speed of a 4 bit binary counter which is composed of a flip flop with a propagation delay of 25nano seconds?

Assuming you are running in synchronous mode, a counter with a propagation time of 25 ns can run up to 40 MHz. Since there are other gates involved, I would consider a margin of safety to be 20 MHz.

What is a 2 bit counter?

a 2 bit counter is a counter which have only 2 bits i.e. the posibble counting states are 00, 01, 10,11,00. It may also be known as MOD 3 counter. It can be realized by using 2 Flip flop.
