Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

A man it’s sitting in a bus and travelling from west to east, and the rain drops are appears falling vertically down.

$ v _{m}= $ velocity of man

$ v _{r}= $ Actual velocity of rain Which is falling at an angle

$ \theta $ with vertical

$ v _{rm}= $ velocity of rain w.r.t. to moving man

If the another man observe the rain then he will find that actually rain falling with velocity

$ v _{r} $ at an angle going from west to east.
