Two boys are standing at points $A$ and $B$ on the ground,where distance $AB = x$. The boy at $B$ starts running perpendicular to $AB$ with velocity $v_1$. The boy at $A$ starts running simultaneously with velocity $v$ and meets the other boy in time $t$. The value of $t$ is:

$A$ man walking briskly in rain with speed $v$ must slant his umbrella forward making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. $A$ student derives the following relation between $\theta$ and $v: \tan \theta = v$ and checks that the relation has a correct limit: as $v \rightarrow 0, \theta \rightarrow 0,$ as expected. (We are assuming there is no strong wind and that the rain falls vertically for a stationary man). Do you think this relation can be correct? If not,guess the correct relation.

Out of the two cars $A$ and $B$,car $A$ is moving towards the east with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$,whereas car $B$ is moving towards the north with a velocity of $20 \, m/s$. The velocity of $A$ with respect to $B$ is ......... $m/s$ (nearly).

$A$ boat moves with a speed of $5 \, km/h$ relative to water in a river flowing with a speed of $3 \, km/h$ and having a width of $1 \, km$. The minimum time taken for a round trip is ......... $min$.

$A$ man running at a speed of $5 \text{ km/h}$ finds that the rain falls vertically. When he stops running,he finds that the rain is falling at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The velocity of rain with respect to the running man is
