(N/A) The relative velocity of an object $A$ with respect to an object $B$ is defined as the rate of change of the position of $A$ as observed from $B$.
Mathematically,the relative velocity of $A$ with respect to $B$,denoted as $v_{AB}$,is given by the vector difference of their velocities:
$v_{AB} = v_A - v_B$
Here,$v_A$ is the velocity of object $A$ and $v_B$ is the velocity of object $B$ with respect to a common reference frame (usually the ground).

$A$ shell is fired at a speed of $200\ m/s$ at an angle of $37^o$ above the horizontal from the top of a tower $80\ m$ high. At the same instant,another shell is fired from a jeep travelling away from the tower at a speed of $10\ m/s$ as shown. The velocity of this shell relative to the jeep is $250\ m/s$ at an angle of $53^o$ with the horizontal. Find the time (in $sec$) taken by the two shells to come closest.
