Let the initial speed of Akhil be '4p' kmph

Then speed after decrease in speed = '3p' kmph

We know that, 

Change in speed == Change in time

According to the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} 243p - 244p = 35 - 2560 \\ => p = 12 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the initial speed of Akhil = 4p = 4 x 12 = 48 kmph.

For the input "A rolling stone gathers no moss", the steps followed are:

Step 1: rolling A stone gathers no moss

Step 2: rolling stone A gathers no moss

Step 3: rolling stone gathers A no moss

Step 4: rolling stone gathers no A moss

After 4 steps the fifth word is "A".

Let the actual distance be t kms

Now, According to the data,

$$\begin{gathered} 5t + 860 = 6t \\ => 560t + 860 = 6t \\ => 60t + 8 = 72t \\ => 8 = 12t \\ => t = 8/12 = 2/3 hrs \end{gathered}$$

Now, the total distance = 6t = 6 x 2/3 = 2 x 2 = 4 kms.

Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms

Now, from the given data,

d/20 = d/22 + 36 min

=> d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs

=> d = 132 km.

Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.

Racecar and Civic are the two vehicles which spelled the same forwards an backwards.

The pattern in the given series is +4, +9, +16, +25, ... i.e. 22,32,42,52...

The next number is 284+25 = 309.
