Dear student
 
Maximum height = u² sin²theta/2g = u² /2g
 
Niw maximum R =u² /g
 
Hence maximum height = R/2

Dear student 
Above ans is incorrect 
Applying conservation of mechanical energy 
1/2 mu^2 - GMm/R = - GMm/(R+h)
Solving this 
R+h = 2gR^2 /(2gR -u^2)
h = 2gR^2 /(2gR-u^2) - R 
h = u^2/(gR-u^2)
Good Luck
