The correct answer is: 203 m s-1,  60°
Let in 2s body reaches upto point A and after one more second upto point B.

Total time of ascent for a body is given as 3s



i.e., usinθg=3

usinθ=10×=30 ......(i)

Horizontal component of velocity remains always constant

ucosθ=vcos30° .......(ii)

For vertical upward motion between point O and A

vsin30o=usinθ-g×2  [Using v = u - gt]

vsin30o=30-20 As usinθ=30

v=20 m s-1

Substituting this value v in equation (ii), we get 

ucosθ=20cos30°=103 .....(iii)

From equations (i) and (ii)

u=203  m s-1 and θ=60°
