Explain the special cases of elastic collision in one dimension.

A ball of mass $200\,g$ rests on a vertical post of height $20\,m$. A bullet of mass $10\,g$, travelling in horizontal direction, hits the centre of the ball. After collision both travels independently. The ball hits the ground at a distance $30\,m$ and the bullet at a distance of $120\,m$ from the foot of the post. The value of initial velocity of the bullet will be $............m/s$ (if $\left.g =10 m / s ^2\right)$
