Airplanes A and B are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles \(30^\circ\) and \(60^\circ\) with respect to the horizontal respectively as shown in the figure. The speed of A is \(100\sqrt 3\) m/s. At time t = 0 s, an observer in A finds B at a distance of 500 m. This observer sees B moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of A. If at t = t0, A just escapes being hit by B, t0 in seconds is
