see Fig below
 
 
since collision is elastic e = 1 so velocity before and after collision along normal of the incline is same
let the velocity after collision be V at an angle # with the inclined plane
 
so vcos@ = Vsin# --------------------------1
also momentum along inclined plane is conserved so
vsin@ = Vcos# -------------------------------2
 
now after collinding with the plane the motion will be projectile so time taken for it to go up & come down is 2Vsin#/(gcos@)
 
so range is distance travelled by horizontal compenent in time 2Vsin#/(gcos@)
 
range(R) =  Vcos#(2Vsin#/(gcos@)) + 1/2*gsin@*[2Vsin#/(gcos@)]^2
             =  2Vsin#/(gcos@)*[Vcos# + sin@Vsin#/cos@] -----------3
from 1 & 2
Vsin# = vcos@
Vcos# = vsin@
putting these values in 3 we get
 
= 2v/g[2vsin@]
 
hence the ball will hit the plane at a distance of 4v^2sin@/g down the incline
