A=0,
because its a stationary point,
it says the curve is increasing first, decreasing, then increasing again, so it has 2 stat points,
at stat points , dy/dx =o.
this dy/dx is acceleration.
I.e acc =0,
when you will do so, u'll obtain time T1 =10 s and T2=30 s.

then u should integrate the equation of Velocity, for (ii) part using T2=30 s.
ans is 285m.
:)
