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