Detailed Solution

Speed of particle at A,
vA = escape velocity on the surface of earth =2GMR
At highest point B,  vB = 0
Applying conservation of mechanical energy, decrease in kinetic energy = increase in gravitational potential energy
=12mvA2=UBUA=mVBVA
vA22=VBVAGMR=GMR+hGMR31.5R20.5RR10021R=1R+h+32R129910021R
Solving this equation, we get h = 99.5R
