A 300 kg projectile moving at 250 m/s at 37o above the horizontal explodes into two parts. The larger 220 kg part moves downward with a speed of 83 m/s and hits the ground directly below the point of explosion. What maximum height above the point of explosion was reached by the smaller 80 kg part? (Assume g is a constant

In the projectile motion, it's not mentioned at what height the projectile explodes. Also, it's not mentioned that at what time it explodes.
Its given in the problem, the velocity of projection, the mass of the projectile, and angle of projection.
After the explosion, the larger part has moved vertically downward directly below the point of explosion with a velocity of 83m/s. This means that the smaller part should have moved vertically upward, in order to conserve the momentum.
