The correct answer is: 53 m s-1

The speed of a projectile at highest point is equal to the component of velocity of projection along the horizontal direction. The angle given with the vertical is 60° therefore, the angle with the horizontal will be 30°.

Therefore, 

V=ucosθ  V=10cos30°=10×32

V=53 m s-1
