Detailed Solution

For collision to take place, relative velocity of A with respect to B should be along the line joining them, i.e., their vertical components should be same.

Vertical component of velocity of of A,  uAy=10sin30°=5 m/s

and vertical component of velocity of B,  uBy=52sin45°=5 m/s.

Since uAy=uBy, the particles may collide.

The second condition for collision of A and B is the sum of their horizontal ranges should be more than or equal to the distance (d = 15 m) between them, i.e., 

RA+RBd. RA=(10)2sin60°10=8.66 m RB=(52)2sin90°10=5 m   RA+RB=13.66 m

Since RA+RB<d, the particles they will not collide.
