As we discussed in concept

Potential Energy -

U_{f}-U_{i}= \int_{r_{i}}^{r_{f}}\vec{f}\cdot \vec{ds}

- wherein

U_{f}-final\: potential\: energy

U_{i}-initial \: potential\: energy

f-force

ds-small \: displacement

r_{i}-initial \: position

r_{f}-final\: position

 

 At Maximum height V=0

V_{0}=\sqrt{2gh} ---(i)

At  h1=3h

u^{2}=2g(3h)=6gh

u=\sqrt{6gh} ---(ii)

\frac{V}{u}=\frac{\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{6gh}}

=> u=\sqrt{3}V_{0}
