Let the shortest distance between Ship A and B is PQ.

Therefore, sin\ 45^{\circ}=\frac{PQ}{OQ }                 

Or,     PQ=100\times\frac{1}{\sqrt2}=50\sqrt2\ m

Also |v_{AB}|=|v_A-v_B|=\left(\sqrt{{v^2}_A+{v_B}^2}\right)=\sqrt{{10}^2+{10}^2}=10\sqrt2\frac{km}{h}

Thus, time is taken to reach the shortest path:

  t=\frac{PQ}{|v_{AB}|}                         

Or, t=\frac{50\sqrt2}{10\sqrt2}=5\ h
