The correct answer is: 203 m s-1

It is given that v=40 m s-1.

The components of the velocity will be vy=vsin30°=40 m s-12=20 m s-1vx=vcos30°=4032 m s-1=203  m s-1

The time taken to reach maximum height is T=usin30°g=20 m s-110 m s-2=2 s

Hence, at T=2 s, as vy=0 m s-1 therefore vnet=vx=203 m s-1.
