A body is thrown up on a slope. It reaches a point (l, say) 2 times: at t1 = 1sec and t2=2sec. What is the initial velocity with which it is thrown

Steps and explanation will be helpful
Thank u

Please post your thoughts on the problem and your area of difficulty.
 
What equations have you got to work with?

Where will the body be at 1.5 seconds?
 
I do not know where to start with the problem. I can work with the simple equations of motion

s=ut+(at^2)/2
v=u+at
