A man wishes to cross a river flowing with velocity `u` swims at an angle `theta` with the river flow.If the man swims with speed `v`and if the width of the river is `d`, then the drift travelled by him is

A

`(u+vcostheta)d/(vsintheta)`

B

`(u-vcostheta)d/(vsintheta)`

C

`(u-vcostheta)d/(vcostheta)`

D

`(u+vcostheta)d/(vcostheta)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`x=(u+vcostheta)t=(u+vcos theta)d/(vs "in" theta)`
