To solve the problem, we need to determine the values of the speed of river flow (Vr) for which a boat can be rowed directly across a river without any drift. The boat has a speed of 4 km/hr in still water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The boat's speed in still water is given as 4 km/hr. - We want to find the range of river flow speeds (Vr) that allows the boat to move directly across the river without drifting downstream. ...
