TCAS warning calcu.??

Anyone can help me with this question??

Two aircraft flying at 33,000 ft with an IAS of 270 kts and are entitled to each other. The planes are 900 Nm apart. Work out how long it takes until the TCAS Resolution Advisory system and will assume no wind (the TCAS resolution advisory system gives a 25 seconds before impact):
• Temperature at sea level is 10 ° C
• Pressure at sea level is 1020 Hpa
• Temperature at 33,000 ft is -62 º C
