Detailed Solution

The particle will travel for a time of t0, so the velocity at that instant will be at0.

And the particle will travel a further for a time of t0 and come to rest, the distance travelled will be the same distance where it was accelerated.

So the distance at which it comes to rest is 2×12×a×t02=at02.

While travelling back it will be accelerated in the opposite direction from rest for a distance of at02, so the total distance travelled will be 2at02.

Time taken for return will be given by at02=12aT2T=2t0

So the total time of travel will be 2+2t0.

The speed at which it reaches the initial position will be v=aT=2at0.
