Two particles `A and B` are moving with constant velocities `v_1 and v_2`. At `t = 0`, `v_1` makes an angle `theta_0` with the line joining `A and B and v_2` makes an angle `theta_2` with the line joining `A and B`.
(a) Find the condition for `A and B` to collide.
(b) Find the time after which `A and B` will collide if separation between them is d at ` t = 0`.

Verified by Experts

Velocity of approach is the relative velocity along line `AB`
`v_(A P P) = v_1 cos theta_1 + v_2 cos theta_2`.
