A man is walking on a horizontal road at a speed of \(4~\text{km/hr}.\) Suddenly, the rain starts vertically downwards with a speed of \(7~\text{km/hr}.\) The magnitude of the relative velocity of the rain with respect to the man is:
1. \(\sqrt{33}~\text{km/hr}\)

2. \(\sqrt{65}~\text{km/hr}\)
3. \(8~\text{km/hr}\)
4. \(4~\text{km/hr}\)
