Take 2nd :

This is the rocket i used this time :

Launching

Booster seperation + stage seperation

Reached LEO

Then i do trans-mars ejection,
Mars flyby

While at mars flyby , i burned the engine until my solar system orbit reached 35400km at the lowest point

Eh, you didn't get the Mars part.

You we're not supposed to do a Mars flyby, flybys of any kind are forbidden. You were only screenshot your UI once you pass the orbit of Mars, so we can see the speed.

Does the speed after exit mars orbit have to be exactly 7250m/s ?

First, you never "exit Mars orbit" for voyager quest.
You only _pass_ the line of mars' orbit around the sun. You never need to go close to Mars itself.

Second, no, you do not need to be going exactly 7250 m/s. Just 7250 m/s or more.
7250 m/s is simply minimum escape velocity from the sun when you are as far from the Sun as Mars is.
If you are going 7249 m/s for example, you did not escape the Sun and eventually you will come back if you wait a LONG time.
If you are going at 7250 m/s or faster, you will escape the Sun and NEVER come back. This is how we know when you've succeeded.

I made the challenge myself, I detailed the mission and a video is available so that you can view the whole mission. Here is it: Voyager quest: demonstration

Don't hesitate to have a look at it, it will give you a clear idea about the goal.

I'll do the Voyager Quest myself.

No, 7250 or higher.
