In first container the Area vector is along the direction of rain. Rate of water collection in first container is $A_{1} \times$ velocity of rain.
In second cylinder the component of Area vector along the direction of rain is $A_{1} \cos 60^{\circ}=$$A_{1} / 2 .$ So, rate of water collection in second container is $0.5 A_{1} \times$ velocity of rain. The ratio of water collection is $2 .$
