Detailed Solution

If F=0,x=2 m

When x>2 m, force is directed away from the origin.

When 0x<2 m, force is directed towards origin. If the particle just crossx=2 m, then it starts to accelerate. For minimum value of initial speed, the speed of particle should be zero atx=2 m. This means that KE at x=2 must be zero and it is non-zero at origin.
