The correct answer is: $31.25 \mathrm{~m}$
Given, $5=\frac{2 u \sin \theta}{g}$ or $\frac{u \sin \theta}{g}=\frac{5}{2}$
Maximum height $=\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{2 g}=\frac{g}{2} \times\left(\frac{u^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{g^2}\right)$
$=\frac{g}{2} \times\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2=\frac{10}{2} \times \frac{25}{4}=31.25 \mathrm{~m}$
