STATEMENT-1: A man can cross river of width `d` in minimum time `t`. On increasing river velocity, minimum time to cross the river by man will remain unchanged.
STATEMENT-2: Velocity of river is perpendicular to width of river. So time to cross the river is independent of velcoity of river.

A

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true, Statement-II is correct explanation for Statement-I

B

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true, Statement-II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-I

C

Statement-I is true, Statement-II is false

D

Statement-I is false, Statement-II is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
