Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 43

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total distance travelled by the man will be 2d. Therefore, the time taken by the man in still water will be, t0=2d2v=dv When the man is going downstream its speed will be equal to v1=vm+vr=3v Therefore, the time taken to go the distance d will be, t1=dv1=d3v When the man is…
