$A$ man standing on a road holds his umbrella at $30^\circ$ with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at $10 \, km/h$. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The speed of raindrops with respect to the moving man will be:

  • A
    $10/\sqrt{2} \, km/h$
  • B
    $5 \, km/h$
  • C
    $10\sqrt{3} \, km/h$
  • D
    $5/\sqrt{3} \, km/h$
