This has most of the job related to conservation of mechanical energy and proper resolving of vectors.
I suggest you to go through the diagrams and explanations provided in the solution, and if something strikes your mind, ask about it freely.

Hope this helps.

zeborg: One more thing I'd like to mention about my calculation is that I have assumed the normal force as Equal to the centripetal force, while classical mechanics does not allow that. The reason I did that is my assumption of the centrifugal force as a pseudo force, which is just equal to the centripetal force but acts in its opposite direction. The normal force equation would generally be as: CPF-CFF=N, and that just proves N=0, just so you don't get your marks deducted in the exams.
Neerav34: thnx a lot
