$A$ man standing on a road has to hold his umbrella at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical to keep the rain away. He throws the umbrella and starts running at $10 \,km/h$. He finds that raindrops are hitting his head vertically. The actual speed of raindrops is:

  • A
    $20 \,km/h$
  • B
    $10 \sqrt{3} \,km/h$
  • C
    $20 \sqrt{3} \,km/h$
  • D
    $10 \,km/h$

Two persons $A$ and $B$ are located in the $X-Y$ plane at the points $(0,0)$ and $(0,10)$ respectively. (The distances are measured in $MKS$ units). At time $t=0$, they start moving simultaneously with velocities $\overrightarrow{v}_A = 2\hat{j} \text{ m/s}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}_B = 2\hat{i} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. The time after which $A$ and $B$ are at their closest distance is:
