$A$ fighter plane is flying horizontally at a height of $250\ m$ from the ground with a constant velocity of $500\ m/s$. It passes exactly over a cannon which can fire a shell at any time in any direction with a speed of $100\ m/s$. Find the duration of time for which the plane is in danger of being hit by a cannon shell.

  • A
    $2\sqrt{3}\ s$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\ s$
  • C
    $3\sqrt{2}\ s$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{2}\ s$
