What happens to the velocity downstream of the shock as the deflection angle increases?

What happens to the velocity downstream of the shock as the deflection angle increases? Correct Answer Decreases

Using the shock polar, we notice that as the deflection angle is increased from θA to θB, the downstream velocity magnitude decreases due to the formations of stronger shock wave.
