Dear Student,
Since when the individual keeps running at 6 km/h the rain is by all accounts coming verticaly down in this manner the level part of rain, Vx is 6km/h 
When he incrreases his relative speed by 4 km/h with the level segment of rain, it appears to fall at an edge of 30 degrees with the vertical. 
It implies the vertical part, Vy is: 4/Vy = tan 30 
i.e. 
Vy = 6.93 km/h 
V = 10.58 km/h 
what's more, point of falling is: tan-1(8/6.93).
Cheers!!
