$A$ man swimming downstream overtakes a float at a point $M$. After travelling a distance $D$,he turns back and passes the float at a distance of $D/2$ from the point $M$. The ratio of the speed of the swimmer with respect to still water $(v_s)$ to the speed of the river $(v_r)$ is:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $2.5$

$Assertion$ : 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.

The velocities of $A$ and $B$ are $\vec{v}_A = 2 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}$ and $\vec{v}_B = 3 \hat{i} - 7 \hat{j}$. The velocity of $B$ as observed by $A$ is:

Two cars,at a certain instant,are $50 \ km$ apart on a line running from south to north. The one farther north is moving west at $25 \ km/hr$. The other is moving towards north at $25 \ km/hr$. How long do they take to reach their distance of closest approach (in $min$)?

On 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:

$A$ swimmer swims in still water at a speed of $5 \text{ km/hr}$. He enters a $200 \text{ m}$ wide river,having a river flow speed of $4 \text{ km/hr}$,at point $A$ and proceeds to swim at an angle of $127^{\circ}$ $(\sin 37^{\circ} = 0.6)$ with the river flow direction. Another point $B$ is located directly across $A$ on the other side. The swimmer lands on the other bank at a point $C$,from which he walks the distance $CB$ with a speed of $3 \text{ km/hr}$. The total time in which he reaches from $A$ to $B$ is .......... $\text{minutes}$.
