Speed just before collision is given by


After inelastic collision the particle will have a velocity along the incline surface and its velocity perpendicular to the incline will be lost.
Velocity along the incline

Horizontal and vertical component of this velocity is


Further height attained after collision will be given by -

Height attained from ground
