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.
Pick an option to check your answer.
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 \(=40 \times 5=200 m\)
