v_{A}=30\widehat{i}+50\widehat{j}

r_{A}=0\widehat{i}+0\widehat{j}

r_{B}=80\widehat{i}+150\widehat{j}

v_{B}=-10\widehat{i}

\vec{v_{r}}=40\widehat{i}+50\widehat{j}

\vec{r_{r}}=-80\widehat{i} - 150\widehat{j}

t_{min}=\frac{\left | \overrightarrow{v_{r}}.\overrightarrow{r_{r}} \right |}{\left | \overrightarrow{v_{r}} \right |}=\frac{(40\times 80+150 \times50)}{4100}

t_{min}= \frac{10700}{4100}=2.6\; hrs.
