Detailed Solution

Let velocity of rain Vr=Vrxi^+Vryj^

 Velocity of rain wrt man, Vrm=VrxVmi^+Vryj^

Initially, the man observes rain to be vertical when running at 8 kmph. 

Therefore VrxVm=0Vrx=8 kmph

When the man increases his speed to 12 kmph horizontally, 

tan30=VrxVmVry=812Vry

Vry=43kmph

Vr=8i^43j^=422+3=112kmph
