Initially, the parachutist falls by gravity:  

v^2=2ah

Or, v^2=2\times 9.8\times50\ =\ 980\ m^2s^{-2}

He reaches the ground with a speed =3\frac{m}{s}

a=-2\ ms^{-2}

Or, (3)^2= u^2-2 \times 2 \times h_{1}

Or, 9\ =\ 980 - 4 h_{1}

Or, h_1=\ \frac{971}{4}

Or, h_1=242.75\ metre

Therefore, 

Total height, 

  \\=50\ +\ 242.75\ =\ 292.75\\\ \approx293
