Rain is falling vertically with a speed of $30\; m/s$. $A$ woman rides a bicycle with a speed of $10\; m/s$ in the north to south direction. What is the direction in which she should hold her umbrella?

  • A
    $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$
  • B
    $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
  • C
    $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)$
  • D
    $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
