A swimmer wants to cross a \(200 \mathrm{~m}\) wide river which is flowing at a speed of \(2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). The velocity of the swimmer with respect to the river is \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). How far from the point directly opposite to the starting point does the swimmer reach the opposite bank?

  1. A \(200 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(400 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(600 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(800 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(400 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Width of river \((w)=200 \mathrm{~m}\) Velocity of river \(=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) Velocity of mans \(=1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) We krow that,…
