$A$ boat covers a certain distance between two spots in a river taking $t_1$ hours going downstream and $t_2$ hours going upstream. What time will be taken by the boat to cover the same distance in still water?

  • A
    $\frac{t_1+t_2}{2}$
  • B
    $2(t_2-t_1)$
  • C
    $\frac{2 t_1 t_2}{t_1+t_2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{t_1 t_2}$

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:

$A$ motorboat is racing towards north at $25\; km/h$ and the water current in that region is $10\; km/h$ in the direction of $60^{\circ}$ east of south. Find the resultant velocity of the boat.

$A$ steam boat goes across a lake and comes back: $(i)$ on a quiet day when the water is still and $(ii)$ on a rough day when there is a uniform current so as to help the journey onward and to impede the journey back. If the speed of the launch,on both days,was same,the time required for the complete journey on the rough day as compared to that on the quiet day,will be

Two cars $A$ and $B$ are moving with the same speed of $45\,km/h$ along the same direction. If a third car $C$ coming from the opposite direction with a speed of $36\,km/h$ meets the two cars in an interval of $5\,min$,the distance of separation between the two cars $A$ and $B$ should be.......$km$.

An aeroplane is to go along a straight line from $A$ to $B$,and back again. The relative speed with respect to wind is $V$. The wind blows perpendicular to the line $AB$ with speed $v$. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $\ell$. The total time for the round trip is:
