$A$ swimmer can swim with speed '$v$' with respect to still water in a river which is flowing with speed '$u$'. There is a float moving with the river. Now the swimmer overtakes the float,gets a lead of '$l$',and returns back to the float. The time taken by the swimmer in this process will be:

$A$ man can swim with velocity $v$ relative to water. He has to cross a river of width $d$ flowing with a velocity $u$ $(u > v)$. The distance through which he is carried downstream by the river is $x$. Which of the following statements is correct?

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:

$A$ swimmer can swim in still water with speed $v$ and the river is flowing with velocity $v/2$. To cross the river in the shortest distance,the swimmer should swim at an angle $\theta$ with the upstream. What is the ratio of the time taken to swim across in the shortest time to the time taken to swim across the shortest distance?

Two particles having position vectors $r_1 = (3 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$ and $r_2 = (-5 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$ are moving with velocities $v_1 = (4 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$ and $v_2 = (a \hat{i} + 7 \hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$. If they collide after $2 \text{ s}$,then the value of $a$ is:
