Ans . 9sin β = 5sin ⍺ ….. (acc. to me)
Reason:
Let us say that rain is falling towards -y and -x axis and the girl is running towards +x axis , then
Velocity of rain w.r.t ground , v= ( -10sin  î – 10 cos  ĵ )ms-1     ...(1)
Velocity of Girl w.r.t ground, v= 8 î ms-1
Also, Velocity of Rain w.r.t girl, vrg = [ (-10-8)sin β -10 cos β ] ms-1
 = ( -18sin β -10 cos β) ms-1           ...(2)
Comparing (1) and (2) ,
-18sin β = -10 sin ⍺      [ divide both sides by 2 and the ans. is there ]
 
 
Correct me if I am wrong
