Rain is falling vertically downward with a speed of \(35~\text{m/s}.\) The wind starts blowing after some time with a speed of \(12~\text{m/s}\) in the east to the west direction. The direction in which a boy standing at the place should hold his umbrella is:
  

1. \(\text{tan}^{-1}\Big(\frac{12}{37}\Big)\) with respect to rain
2. \(\text{tan}^{-1}\Big(\frac{12}{37}\Big)\) with respect to wind
3. \(\text{tan}^{-1}\Big(\frac{12}{35}\Big)\) with respect to rain
4. \(\text{tan}^{-1}\Big(\frac{12}{35}\Big)\) with respect to wind

2. \(22\) km/h at \(23 . 4^\circ\) north of east
3. \(22\) km/h at \(23 . 4^\circ\) east of north
4. \(20\) km/h at \(23 . 4^\circ\) north of west

The following are four different relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general.

(a) \(v_{a v}=1 / 2\left[v\left(t_1\right)+v\left(t_2\right)\right]\)
(b) \(v_{{av}}={r}\left({t}_2\right)-{r}\left({t}_1\right) / {t}_2-{t}_1\)
(c) \(r=1 / 2\left[v\left(t_2\right)-v\left(t_1\right)\right]\left({t}_2-{t}_1\right)\)
(d) \({a}_{{av}}=v\left({t}_2\right)-v\left({t}_1\right) / {t}_2-{t}_1\)


The incorrect options is/are:

1. (a) and (d) only 2. (a) and (c) only
3. (b) and (c) only 4. (a) and (b) only
