Since the P and Q are colliding at t = \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2u} d, their vertical components of their velocities must be equal.  That means
v sin 60^{o} = u sin \theta   --- eq 1.
Horizontal components are related such that horizontal distance travelled is d in time t = \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2u} d.
Hence, we have
(v cos 60^{o} + u cos \theta) * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2u} d = d    --- eq 2.
Solve eq 1 and 2 to get v = \frac {u}{\sqrt{3}}.
