7. A person is standing on road by holding an umbrella at right angle to the horizontal surface in order
to protect himself from rain falling vertically at a speed of 10 m/s. Suddenly wind begins to blow at a
speed of 20 m/s, towards 30° south of west. Now by what angle the person has to turn his umbrella
in order to protect himself from rain?
(A) tan–1 (1/2), w.r.t. the initial position of the umbrella towards 30° north of east.
(B) tan–1 (1/2), w.r.t. the initial position of the umbrella towards 30° south of east.
(C) tan–1 (2), w.r.t. the initial position of the umbrella towards 30° north of east.
