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 figure . The speed of $A$ is $100 \sqrt{3} ms ^{-1}$. At time $t=0$, 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 $t = t _0$, $A$ just escapes being hit by $B , t _0$ in seconds is:
