A swimmer wants to cross a river from point \(A\) to point \(B\). Line \(A B\) makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the flow of river. Magnitude of velocity of the swimmer is same as that of the river. The angle \(\theta\) with the line \({AB}\) should be \(^{\circ}\), so that the swimmer reaches point \({B}\).

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(30\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
As we know
Both velocity vectors are of same magnitude therefore resultant would pass exactly midway through them
\(\theta=30^{\circ}\)
