  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$ towards West
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(3)$ towards West
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$ towards East

$A$ river has a steady speed of $v$. $A$ man swims upstream for a distance of $d$ and swims back to the starting point in a total time $t$. The man can swim at a speed of $2v$ in still water. If the time taken by the man in still water is $t_0$ to complete the same total distance of $2d$, then $\frac{t}{t_0}$ 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 .......... $\text{minutes}$.
