Dear Shuvam,

Velocity before scooping=root(2gL)
Applying conservation of momentum,
new velocity= (M/M+m).root(2gL)
the bucket stops when velocity = 0
=>u^2=2gh
=>2gh= [ (M/M+m)^2 ]. 2gL
=> h= [ (M/M+m)^2 ].L         (ANS)

Regards.

at the lowest position v=root 2gL
now, by using law of conservation of momentum
MV-(M+m)V'=0
Mv=(M+m)V'
V'=(M/M+m)root2gL
 
h=V'2/2g = (M/M+m)2L
