Rain is falling vertically with a speed of $30 \,m/s$. A man rides a bicycle with a speed of $10 \,m/s$ from East to West direction. At what angle with the vertical does he see the rain falling?

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$ towards West
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(3)$ towards West
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$ towards East
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(3)$ towards East

$A$ swimmer can swim in still water with speed $v$ and the river is flowing with velocity $\frac{v}{2}$. To cross the river in the shortest time,he should swim making an angle $\theta$ with the upstream. What is the ratio of the time taken to swim across in the shortest time to that in swimming across over the shortest distance?

Two particles having position vectors $r_1 = (3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$ and $r_2 = (-5 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$ are moving with velocities $v_1 = (4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = (a \hat{i} + 7 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$. If they collide after $2 \text{ s}$,then the value of $a$ is:
