JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 3.2 motion in plane

A river of width 200 m is flowing from west to east with a speed of \(18 km / h\). A boat, moving with speed of \(36 km / h\) in still water, is made to travel one-round trip (bank to bank of the river). Minimum time taken by the boat for this journey and also the displacement along the river bank are _________ and _________ respectively.

  1. A 20 s and 100 m
  2. B 40 s and 0 m
  3. C 40 s and 200 m
  4. D 40 s and 100 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 40 s and 200 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Minimum time : \(t _{\min }=\frac{200}{10}=20 sec\) \(t_{\min }=\frac{200}{10}=20 sec\) For round trip \(=40 sec\). Displacement along river bank \(=40 \times 5=200 m\)
