Let the man crossing the road at an angle θθ. For safe crossing the man must cross the road by the time the truck describes a distance 4+AC4+ACor 4+2cotθ4+2cot⁡θ=>AC+4v0=BCv=>AC+4v0=BCv=4+2cotθ8=2/sinθv=4+2cot⁡θ8=2/sin⁡θvv=82sinθ+cosθv=82sin⁡θ+cos⁡θfor minimum timedvdθdvdθ=0=>−8(2cosθ−sinθ)(2sinθ+cosθ)2=0=>−8(2cos⁡θ−sin⁡θ)(2sin⁡θ+cos⁡θ)2=0=02cosθ−sinθ=02cos⁡θ−sin⁡θ=0tanθ=2tan⁡θ=2=>sinθ=25–√=>sin⁡θ=25=>cosθ=15–√=>cos⁡θ=15Therefore v=82×25√−15√v=82×25−15=85–√
