Need some help over here!

A motorcyclist starts from the bottom of a slope of angle 45° to cross a valley. The width of the valley 90m and length of the slope is 80√2m. What is the minimum value of u (initial velocity)?

If you guys want,I can upload a rough sketch for the sum.

Let the velocity of the man at the topmost point of the slope be v.Now from here projectile motion starts at an angle of 45.
So v2=900.....[as θ=45]
or, v=30.
Now along the incline decelaration=gsin45.
So u2 - v2=2*gsin(45)*80√2.
or, u=50. This is the minimum required speed.

Sorry, I did not get your solution. I worked it out on my own. The answer is correct though. It IS 50 m/s.
