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. \(4~\text{km/hr}\)

A boat is moving with a velocity \(3\hat i + 4\hat j\) with respect to ground. The water in the river is moving with a velocity\(-3\hat i - 4 \hat j\) with respect to ground. The relative velocity of the boat with respect to water is: 
1. \(8\hat j\)
2. \(-6\hat i-8\hat j\)
3. \(6\hat i+8\hat j\)
4. \(5\sqrt{2}\)

The raindrops are falling with speed \(v\) vertically downwards and a man is running on a horizontal road with speed \(u.\) The magnitude of the velocity of the raindrops with respect to the man is:
1. \(v-u\)
2. \(v+u\)
3. \(\sqrt{{v}^2 + {u}^2 \over 2}\)
4. \(\sqrt{{v}^2 + {u}^2}\)

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/hr. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The speed of raindrops with respect to the road will be:
1. \(10\) km/hr
2. \(20\) km/hr
3. \(30\) km/hr
4. \(40\) km/hr

A man can row a boat with a speed of \(10~\text{kmph}\) in still water. The river flows at \(6~\text{kmph}.\) If he crosses the river from one bank to the other along the shortest possible path, the time taken to cross the river of width \(1~\text{km}\) is:
1. \(\frac{1}{8}~\text{hr}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{4}~\text{hr}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{2}~\text{hr}\)
