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?
- A \(200 \mathrm{~m}\)
- B \(400 \mathrm{~m}\)
- C \(600 \mathrm{~m}\)
- D \(800 \mathrm{~m}\)
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,…
