On one boundary of a swimming pool , there is a person at point `A` whose speed of running on group (boundary) is `10ms^(-1)` , while that of swimming is `6ms^(-1)` . He has to reach a point `B` in the swimming pool . The distance covered on the boundary so that the time required to reach the point `B` in the pool is minimum, is

Two boatman must swim across the river from point A to point B . One of them sends a boat on the line AB and on reaching the opposite shore, he is at the point C(figure). In order to reach point B, it moves upstream from point C to point B. The second boatman guides the boat so that it directly goes B.
