Rain drops fall vertically at a speed of 20 m/s . At what angle do they fall on the wind screen of a car moving with a velocity of 15 m/s if the wind screen velocity inclined at an angle of `23^circ` to the vertical ?`(cot^-1  4/3 = 37^circ)`

Options:
A .  `60^circ`
B .  `30^circ`
C .  `45^circ`
D .  `90^circ`
Answer: Option A

`tan (90^circ - theta) = 20/15`

`:.`       `  cot theta = 20/15` = `4/3`

`rArr        theta = 37^circ`

`:.`         `alpha = 37^circ + 23^circ` = `60^circ`
