An any instant of time, two ships A and B are 70 km apart along a line AB which is directed from north to south . A starts moving towards west at 25km*h^(-1) and at the same time B starts moving towards north at 25km*h^(-1) . Find the distance of closest approach between the two ships and the time required for this.

At 10.a.m.., a ship A is at 40 km to the east of a ship B . Ship A moves at 12 km per hour towards west and ship B moves at 16km*h^(-1) towards south. When will the distance between them be minimum and what will be the value of this minimum distance ?
