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.

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.
