Let the angle made by the  projectile with ground is \alpha
As the particle strikes the plane horizontally so its velocity is parallel to horizontal axis and vertical velocity is zero.
In vertical direction,
0=usin\alpha -gt \\ \\usin\alpha=g{\frac{2usin[\alpha -x]}{gcosx}} \\ \\cosxsin\alpha = 2(cosxsin\alpha -sinxcos\alpha) \\2sinxcos\alpha=cosxsin\alpha \\2tanx=tan\alpha \\tanx= 0.5*tan\alpha

verticle component of velocity will be zero.
and let angle made by projectile with ground is \Theta
THen
usin\Theta – gt =0
and time period t is given by 2usin(\Theta – x)/gcosx
THen
2sinxcos\Theta = cosxsin\Theta
so tanx = ½tan\Theta.
Hope it clears.
