$A$ river is flowing from $W$ to $E$ with a speed of $5 \, m/min$. $A$ man can swim in still water with a velocity of $10 \, m/min$. In which direction should the man swim to take the shortest possible path to reach the opposite bank (South)?

  • A
    $30^\circ$ with downstream
  • B
    $60^\circ$ with downstream
  • C
    $120^\circ$ with downstream

$A$ river is flowing with a velocity of $5 \ km/hr$ as shown in the figure. $A$ boat starts from $A$ and reaches the other bank. The width of the river is $b = 300 \ m$. The velocity of the boat in still water is $v_{br} = 3 \ km/hr$. If the boat aims to reach the point directly opposite to $A$ (point $B$),but due to the river flow,it reaches point $C$,what is the distance $AC$ covered by the boat? (Note: The boat is steered such that it maintains a straight path relative to the ground).

Two towns $A$ and $B$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ minutes. $A$ man cycling with a speed of $20 \; km/h$ in the direction $A$ to $B$ notices that a bus goes past him every $18 \; min$ in the direction of his motion,and every $6 \; min$ in the opposite direction. What is the period $T$ (in $min$) of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant) do the buses ply on the road?
