Computation of velocity of wind

[Win_odd Dhamnekar]

A person travelling towards the north-east with a velocity of 6 KM per hour finds that the wind appears to blow from the north, but when he doubles his speed it seems to come from a direction inclined at an angle \(\displaystyle tan^{−1}{( 2)}\) to the north of east. Show that the actual velocity of the wind is \(\displaystyle 3\sqrt{ 2}\) KM per hour towards the east.




Is this answer correct?
