(2+√2)gK

At the mean position, Kx=2g; x=2gK
2gx=12Kx2 +K.E (Using energy conservation)
K.E is the kinetic energy of the two block system ,individually they each have kinetic energy=K.E2
Just after that the string would become loose,So the upper block would continue to move with that velocity,
So at max. compression(h) the kinetic energy of system=K.E2
2gh=12Kh2 +K.E2
Solving we get,h=(2+√2)gK
IS IT CORRECT?

Niraj..I am not able to find the fallacy, but the given answer is far different from this. Given answer is 0.45m .
