Chase the particle

Click the link to see the graph

In the above graph, purple particle moves along y y -axis and green particle move such that its direction of motion is always towards purple particle. Both move with equal speed u u metres per second. If the initial separation between them is 30 metres. Find the separation between them when the velocity of the particle makes and angle of π / 6 \pi/6 with x x -axis.

Note : In the above graph it may look like speed is not constant because in graph I have made rate of change of p p [ π / 6 \pi/6 in this question] constant}


The answer is 20.
