$Assertion$ : The magnitude of velocity of two boats relative to the river is the same. Both boats start simultaneously from the same point on one bank and may reach the opposite bank simultaneously while moving along different paths.
$Reason$ : For boats to cross the river in the same time,the component of their velocity relative to the river in the direction normal to the flow should be the same.
$Reason$ : For boats to cross the river in the same time,the component of their velocity relative to the river in the direction normal to the flow should be the same.
- AIf both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- CIf the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
- DIf both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

View SolutionOn a calm day,a boat can go across a lake and return in time $T_0$ at a speed $V$. On a rough day,there is a uniform current at speed $v$ that helps the onward journey and impedes the return journey. If the time taken to go across and return on the rough day is $T$,then $T / T_0$ is:
Airplanes $A$ and $B$ are flying with constant velocity in the same vertical plane at angles $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the horizontal,respectively,as shown in the figure. The speed of $A$ is $100 \sqrt{3} \ m/s$. At time $t=0$,an observer in $A$ finds $B$ at a distance of $500 \ m$. This observer sees $B$ moving with a constant velocity perpendicular to the line of motion of $A$. If at $t = t_0$,$A$ just escapes being hit by $B$,then $t_0$ in seconds is:
$A$ man is running at a speed of $5 \, m/s$. The rain drops appear to be falling at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical. If the rain drops are actually falling vertically downwards,then the velocity of the rain drops (in $m/s$) is:
