What should be the minimum initial velocity with which a missile has to be launched so that it reaches a target of 1000km away in the same plane

Nuts to these made up hypothetical, wanna be physics problems.
maximum range is when the angle is 45°
so, minimum velocity need for a given range is at 45°
Now just use your range formula using 45° to see what initial velocity has that range. That is your minimum required velocity.
Technically, a 1000km range has to include adjustments for the curvature of the earth, since it is so far.
