 Assume  t be the  hit time. 
When the particle  hit, their horizontal distance is same. 
Velocity of particle in horizontal direction= 10root(3) *cos60=5root(3) 
and, velocity of wedge horizontally=10root(3) 
since, they start at the same time they will never meet because their horizontal velocity differs 10root(3) greater than 5root(3).
