$A$ boy is running on a plane road with velocity $v$ with a long hollow tube in his hand. The water is falling vertically downwards with velocity $u$. At what angle to the vertical,he must incline the tube so that the water drops enter it without touching its sides?

  • A
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)$
  • C
    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)$

$A$ boy runs on a horizontal road with a speed of $4 \ m \ s^{-1}$ while it is raining. He sees that the rain is making an angle $\theta$ with the vertical while running from west to east. However, when he runs from east to west, the angle is $\alpha$. The rain is pouring down at an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical and at a speed of $8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The ratio $\frac{\tan \theta}{\tan \alpha}$ is,
