$A$ man wants to reach from $A$ to the opposite corner of the square $C$. The sides of the square are $100\, m$. $A$ central square of $50\, m \times 50\, m$ is filled with sand. Outside this square,he can walk at a speed of $1\, m/s$. In the central square,he can walk only at a speed of $v\, m/s$ $(v < 1)$. What is the smallest value of $v$ for which he can reach faster via a straight path through the sand than any path in the square outside the sand?

  • A
    $1/3$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $1/\sqrt{3}$
