Detailed Solution

Let the speed of the bullet be v. Let the common velocity of the bullet and the bob, after the bullet is embedded into the bob, is V. By the principle of conservation of the linear momentum  
V=(0.05kg)v0.45kg+0.05kg=v10
The string becomes loose and the bob will go up with a deceleration of g=10m/s2. 
As it comes to rest at a height of 1.8m, using the equation v2=u2+2ax
1.8m=(v/10)22×10m/s2 or v=60m/s
