Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

time to cross the River width \(\omega=1000\,m\)

\(\text { is }=\frac{1\,km }{4\,km / h }\)

Drift \(x = Vm / g \times t\)

Where \(Vm / g\) is velocity of River w.r. to ground.

\(x = Vm / g \times \frac{1}{4}=750\,m =\frac{3}{4}\,km\)

\(Vm / g =3 km / hr\)

Ans is \(3\,km / hr\).
