Ans. 1.5m/s
If at any instant the fish is at the depth 'x' below fish water surface while the bird at a height y above the surface, then the apparent height of the bird from the surface as seen by the fish will be given by
µ =  or Apparent height = µy
So, the total apparent distance of the bird as seen by the fish in water will be
h = x + µy
or 
         4= 2 + µ()
dy/dt =2/(4/3)=6/4=3/2=1.5m/s
