The greatest height to which a man can throw a stone is $h$. The greatest distance to which he can throw it, will be

For greatest height $\theta = 90^°$

${H_{\max }} = \frac{{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}(90^\circ )}}{{2g}} = \frac{{{u^2}}}{{2g}} = h$ (given)

${R_{\max }} = \frac{{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}2(45^\circ )}}{g} = \frac{{{u^2}}}{g} = 2h$
