Velocity of object when it hit the ground can be calculated as 

1/2 mv² = mgh

v = √2gh in downward direction

On striking the ground let the object rebound with velocity u in upward direction and rises vertically till 2/5 h

1/2 mu²  = mg 2/5 h

u = √4/5gh in an upward direction

The ratio of magnitude of momentum of the object just before and after striking the ground is 

P before/ Pafter = mv/mu =  √2gh/ √4/5 gh  = √2/ 2 √1/5 = 1.414/ 0.8944 = 1.58 is the Answer
