Dear student,
 
In the given question assume Tension in one wire as a variable obtain the tension in the remaining wire in terms of it.
Also assume the acceleration of each block and express it in terms of each other.
After which write the force balancing equation for each block.
Using the obtained acceleration and the equation of motion for constant acceleration we get, t = 0.25 s
 
Thanks and regards,
