Detailed Solution

Velocity of truck = horizontal velocity of projectile ;

$u_{x} = ucos θ = 15 m / s$

distance moved by truck = range of the projectile = 60 m
$∴ 60 = \frac{2 u_{x} u_{y}}{g}$
$u_{y} = 20 m / s$
$∴$ Velocity of projection as observed from road
$u = \sqrt{u_{x}^{2} + u_{y}^{2}} = 25 m / s$
