$A$ stationary man observes that the rain is falling vertically downward. When he starts running with a velocity of $12 \ km/h$,he observes that the rain is falling at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The actual velocity of the rain is:

  • A
    $12\sqrt{3} \ km/h$
  • B
    $6\sqrt{3} \ km/h$
  • C
    $4\sqrt{3} \ km/h$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{3} \ km/h$

When a car is at rest,its driver sees rain drops falling on it vertically. When driving the car with speed $v$,he sees that rain drops are coming at an angle $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal. On further increasing the speed of the car to $(1+\beta)v$,this angle changes to $45^{\circ}$. The value of $\beta$ is close to...
